Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ingeteam sign MOU on AI data center power

The agreement pairs two very different sets of assets. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries brings knowledge in power, cooling and energy management, plus system integration experience from large-scale energy systems and industrial cooling, and it can lean on the North America-wide service network of its group company Concentric. Ingeteam, a global technology firm with more than 4,000 employees in 15 countries and over 85 years of history, contributes generators, advanced power electronics, control and automation technology, and digital technology, along with battery energy storage systems and EMS/SCADA control platforms.

The backdrop is the strain AI computing puts on data centers. As high-density computing infrastructure spreads, data center power demand grows and per-rack consumption rises, pushing operators toward next-generation power supply and distribution systems for efficiency, reliability and scalability. Because AI workloads fluctuate heavily, harmonics and voltage imbalance can threaten stable operation and equipment life.

Shinichiro Gomi, general manager of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' Data Center & Energy Management Department, framed the goal as supplying high-quality, reliable power rather than merely securing power, and Ingeteam CEO Adolfo Rebollo described the two companies as a bridge between power grids and next-generation AI infrastructure. The MOU is described as a first step for cooperation focused on the U.S. market, with both companies looking at medium-voltage distribution and EMS technologies for high-density computing environments.
