Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) is a clean energy system that will reduce using polluting petroleum based energy sources. Not only will this redirect away from dirty to clean sources help prevent the Earth from getting too hot, it will also stabilize the power grid. Here’s a great video that explains how BESS works.
Intersect Power, LLC is a clean energy company that launched in 2016. It is based in Texas and provides American-made, low-carbon solutions to its customers in global energy markets.
It was recognized in 2025 by TIME Magazine as a “Top GreenTech Company” on both their 2025 America’s and World’s lists. Data centers and now AI are consuming extraordinary amounts of energy, and Intersect Power is building the first AI data centers with a “power-first” approach that co-locates data centers with power generation.
The award-winning innovator uses a hybrid of solar, wind, battery storage, and flexible gas generation to provide the speed, reliability, and cost that data center customers require.
Intersect Power’s CEO said on the company website: “Hybrid solutions utilizing co-located clean energy and flexible natural gas are the fuel for the energy-intensive industries of tomorrow like AI. As electricity demand grows at unprecedented rates, the clear solution is bringing new large industrial customers to where power can be easily generated.”
“At Intersect Power, they have fully developed single projects capable of hosting loads as large as 3GW+. Several of these projects can come online by the end of 2026, and most, if not all of them, can be online by 2029. Many of these were initially developed with a hydrogen thesis in mind but are just as appropriate for data centers, clean steel, direct air capture, and other large loads fleeing today’s overburdened grid. As the megatrends of decarbonization, digitalization, and electrification collide, load is coming to clean generation. Whether it’s the stop-start of clean hydrogen, or the go, go, go of AI data centers, whether it’s today or five years from now, such change is inevitable.”
Intersect is on a rapid growth trajectory and is looking for talented professionals. For information on Intersect’s current open roles, go to their website at https://jobs.lever.co/intersectpower.
