EPC Power, a manufacturer of grid-forming power conversion systems, and Florida-based On Energy, a developer of power systems for grid-safe data centres, have announced a partnership to meet the surging demand for hyperscale AI infrastructure.

Under the agreement, California-based EPC Power will supply On Energy with power converters to support the AI UPS platform, a medium-voltage uninterruptible power supply (UPS) purpose-built to act as a dynamic power layer between grid and compute.

This partnership combines EPC’s expertise in high-performance power conversion with On’s proprietary AI UPS grid-safe technology. The joint offering is engineered to deliver mission-critical backup and power quality for AI-scale workloads, addressing the growing demands and reliability challenges of hyperscale data centres.

“EPC builds in America and builds for performance,” said Ricardo de Azevedo, CTO of On Energy. “Their silicon-carbide M power converters add grid-forming and black-start capability with industry-leading response, enhancing how On Energy’s AI UPS platform manages fast AI ramping and dynamic load fluctuations. Together, we’re setting a new benchmark for grid-safe power at hyperscale.”

On Energy will integrate EPC’s hardware with its AI UPS platform, which scales from megawatts to gigawatts and supports runtimes of up to eight hours. Purpose built for the demands of hyperscale AI computing, AI UPS protects grid-connected and off-grid environments by absorbing fast-ramping AI transients and dynamic load swings, while delivering voltage and frequency ride-through performance that accelerates interconnection timelines.

“AI is fuelling rapid data centre growth, creating massive power challenges,” said Jim Fusaro, CEO of EPC Power. “Traditional systems can’t keep up with dynamic, high-density AI workloads. Digital power infrastructure is the solution, delivering reliable, secure and adaptive power that responds in real time to changing demands with or without active grid integration.”

Together, EPC Power (www.epcpower.com) and On Energy (www.on.energy) hope to advance AI power infrastructure to deliver reliability and resiliency, and transform UPS infrastructure into grid-interactive, revenue-generating assets.
