Green Technology Global ("GTG") proposes good citizenship, good neighborship and stewardship of the environment by developers and operators of new Data Centers across the US.
GTG's clustered Atmospheric Water Generator farms give Data Centers and network operations centers an independent, on-site water supply for cooling and operations — decoupled from a municipal system that's already under strain.
GTG provides a 360° closed-loop system that integrates a Water Vapor Recovery System from the HVAC System coupled with our Atmospheric Water Generator that is 100% independent of existing water resources.
Beyond water, GTG's PTE Turbofan platform provides off-grid green energy power for data centers and network operations centers — pairing with AWG farms for a facility that's independent of both municipal water and the utility grid.
PTE offers Turnkey Data Center Construction. From ideation and planning through design, development, QA, deployment and ongoing maintenance — PTE covers every stage of bringing a turbine-powered facility online.
Request EngineeringThe facilities, built by Digital Realty and Stack, have supply agreements in place with local grid operator Silicon Valley Power (SVP), but are waiting on upgrades to the energy network. These may not be in place until 2028, according to a report from Bloomberg.
Digital Realty apparently obtained planning permission for the data center in 2019 but has yet to get a grid connection six years later.
Meanwhile, a 48MW Stack data center is also in a similar position, the report said.
Speaking to Bloomberg, SVP spokesperson Janine de la Vega said: “SVP is undertaking a $450 million system upgrade to meet the needs of these and other customers, and the project is currently on schedule to be completed in 2028.”

The landmark disclosure represents Amazon's first public accounting of its total data center water consumption — a volume equivalent to roughly 3,800 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
Across its network of more than 900 facilities in over 50 countries, Amazon utilizes massive water-based cooling systems to prevent server overheating. While the retail and cloud giant highlighted a 2% decline in direct water usage from 2024 — attributing the reduction to more efficient cooling and a commitment to return water to communities — critics point out that such high-level global metrics can obscure the localized strain these facilities place on drought-prone areas.
This massive resource consumption is driving a political backlash, with communities and lawmakers demanding greater transparency. In the U.S., Utah recently enacted a groundbreaking law requiring certain new data centers to publicly report their annual water use, while local residents elsewhere voice concern over falling water pressure and rising utility bills.
Public sentiment reflects this tension: a recent national survey revealed that only one-third of Americans support new data center construction, and a mere 14% would accept having one built near their home.

A single data center's cooling and operational water demand can be met by clustering multiple AWG units into a farm — scaled the same way as an agricultural deployment, from a single 500L unit up to a 10,000L industrial substation array.
| Facility Type | Typical Need | Recommended Configuration |
|---|---|---|
| Edge / Micro Data Center | Hundreds of gallons/day | Clustered 10,000L units |
| Regional Data Center | Thousands of gallons/day | Clustered 10,000L units |
| Hyperscale / NOC Campus | Tens of thousands of gallons/day | Large Capacity Industrial substation arrays |
A closer look at where data center water actually comes from today — and the case for an independent, atmosphere-sourced supply.
A data center is the technological hub of modern enterprise operations, delivering the IT resources and services that businesses, partners and customers rely on worldwide. Running that infrastructure at scale demands a dedicated space engineered around four needs: power, cooling, security and management.
The power delivered to a data center becomes computing work — and heat. Removing that heat with conventional HVAC systems demands large quantities of non-potable water. Vendor cooling-loop specs typically call for clean, bacteria-free water (under 100 CFU/mL) such as demineralized, reverse osmosis, deionized or distilled water, filtered to 50 microns.
An $800 million data center approved in Mesa, Arizona was projected to need up to 1.25 million gallons of water daily to keep servers from overheating — during the region's driest 12-month stretch in 126 years.
Hyperscale data centers roughly doubled between 2015 and 2020, with about 40% located in the U.S. and Amazon, Google and Microsoft accounting for over half of the total.
Training modern AI models consumes enormous water volumes for cooling — Microsoft reported 700,000 liters used training GPT-3, and Meta reported 22 million liters training its LLaMA-3 model, per Washington Post reporting.
According to Venkatesh Uddameri, professor and director of the Water Resources Center at Texas Tech University, a typical data center's daily water use is comparable to that of a city of 30,000–50,000 people. Big tech's own sustainability commitments — like Amazon's pledge to be "water positive" by 2030 — look further out than the water these facilities are drawing today.
