Tokyo Gas Engineering Solutions, TGES, has signed an agreement with CBRE and La Clé du Joie to support the introduction of gas cogeneration systems in data center development. The objective is to enable the quicker launching and more reliable functioning of data centers.
The need for data centers is rapidly increasing, one of the reasons being the usage of generative AI. However, there are obstacles as well. Locations are limited due to power grid constraints. Securing enough power can take a long time. TGES has a solution called the Power Source Hybrid DC Solution. It combines grid power with gas cogeneration systems to fill power gaps. This approach allows data centers to start operations earlier, even in areas with limited grid capacity.
CBRE brings expertise and networks for data center sites. La Clé du Joie provides support as a development consultant from the planning stage. TGES has experience implementing gas cogeneration systems both in Japan and overseas. Together, the agreement allows the solution to be considered early in data center planning, which helps speed up launch.

The TGES Power Source Hybrid DC Solution improves PUE by using waste heat from the cogeneration system for cooling. Power supply is tailored to the size, operation mode, and location of each data center. TGES also provides total support, from selecting equipment to designing the system and managing operations, backed by 24/7 remote monitoring and maintenance.
Through this and other solutions coming under its IGNITURE initiative, TGES intends to assist corporate customers in a sustainable and smart manner. The firm will not stop using its experience to play an active role in decarbonization, optimization, resilience, and the sustainable development of society.
