Electric Way Introduces Turnkey Data Center Infrastructure Business Unit to Meet Regional AI Demand

Electric Way, a regional leader in sustainable energy and electrical distribution, has commenced the business of setting up dedicated Data Center Infrastructure. This new business line provides complete end-to-end solutions for building resilient, high-density, and AI-ready data centers across the GCC.

Rising Data Center Demand and the Impact of AI

The expansion of hyperscalers, local cloud providers, and data sovereignty regulations is driving rapid growth in regional data center capacity. At the same time, the rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and High-Performance Computing (HPC) is fundamentally redefining infrastructure requirements. AI workloads demand 5x to 20x more power per rack compared to traditional IT setups, pushing thermal and power delivery limits beyond standard capabilities. Facilities that cannot support these elevated power loads and cooling requirements risk operational downtime and reduced competitiveness.

Critical Success Factors in Data Center Infrastructure

Building modern, reliable data centers requires precise integration of electrical, power, thermal, and cabling infrastructure:

• Power Infrastructure: Continuous power availability relies on seamless Medium Voltage and Low Voltage (MV/LV) integration, modular UPS platforms (N+1, 2N architectures), high-capacity busbars, and intelligent PDUs integrated into DCIM systems.
• Cooling Systems: Next-generation AI racks generate heat densities exceeding 20 kW to 80 kW per rack. Delivering stable thermal management requires in-row, rear-door, or direct-to-chip liquid cooling combined with airflow containment.
• Physical and Cable Infrastructure: High-capacity cabling, overhead tray pathways, and heavy-duty raised flooring systems are critical to maintain structural stability, organize high-density fiber networks, and simplify expansion.
• Safety and EMF Shielding: Advanced low-frequency Electro-Magnetic Field (EMF) shielding and early-warning fire suppression systems safeguard critical IT assets against electromagnetic interference and physical hazards.

Expertise and Heritage of Electric Way

Building on a strong legacy in power distribution since 2003, Electric Way brings proven regional capability to critical data center builds. The dedicated business unit features a UAE-based engineering team with deep knowledge of DEWA, ADDC, and Civil Defense authority requirements. Operating as a vendor-neutral partner, Electric Way collaborates with leading global OEMs to deliver optimized, compliant solutions tailored to each project.

A One-Stop Solution for Data Center Infrastructure

Electric Way eliminates vendor fragmentation by acting as a single accountable specialist from concept design to implementation and ongoing maintenance. Through its comprehensive FlexVPC technology platform, Electric Way offers fully integrated modular solutions:

• FlexFloor: Heavy-duty AI infrastructure raised flooring supporting extreme load capacities.
• FlexPOD: Integrated platforms combining raised flooring, racks, busbars, and power distribution.
• FlexShield: Advanced EMF protection systems ensuring electromagnetic compliance and equipment protection.
• Modular Infrastructure: Factory-built, pre-tested skid systems that reduce on-site deployment time and operational risk.

By uniting power, cooling, cabling, physical security, and monitoring into a single delivery framework, Electric Way enables operators to deploy scalable, efficient, and tier-grade data centers faster and with lower total cost of ownership.
