Edged Energy has launched its 24MW data center in Irving, Texas.

Located at 505 North Wildwood Drive in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, the facility has been designed for high-density workloads and is optimized for energy and water efficiency.

Plans for the Edged Dallas data center were first revealed in September 2023. The company received approval from the Irving City Council in April last year.

Bryant Farland, CEO at Edged, said: “We sincerely thank the Irving Economic Development Partnership (IEDP) and the City of Irving for their outstanding partnership and shared dedication to innovation and sustainability. Together, we have transformed an underutilized site into a state-of-the-art IT facility that not only benefits the community but also conserves precious local water and energy resources. We are proud to support Irving’s dynamic and growing digital economy with groundbreaking technologies that promote environmental stewardship and drive meaningful positive change.”

The facility is also fitted with a waterless cooling system, provided by Edge’s sister company ThermalWorks.

The opening was attended by Mayor Rick Stopher, who said: “I want to thank the Edged team for their investment in Irving and recognition of our city as a strategic location for the rapidly emerging class of critical infrastructure that data centers provide.

“The collaborative relationship between our city’s public and private sectors, our community’s skilled workforce, and our excellent quality of life continue to attract leaving businesses like Edged, which play a significant role in our city and region’s continued growth and success.”

Edged Energy is part of Endeavour, which was set up by Aligned founder Jakob Carnemark.

It currently has data centers both operational and in development in Madrid and Barcelona in Spain; Lisbon, Portugal; and across the US including Missouri, Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Iowa, Ohio, and Illinois.

Dallas-Fort Worth is home to operators such as QTS, Lumen, Centersquare, and Cogent. Digital Realty, Cologix, Flexential, NTT, DataBank, Equinix, Stack, Cogent, Google, Meta, Lumen, and IBM all operate in the wider Dallas area.
