EverOn CEO Tom Mertz speaks with The Wall Street Journal about Carrier’s $600 million Texas plant and growing cooling demand from AI data centers.
EverOn Data Center Services President and CEO Tom Mertz is quoted in a Wall Street Journal article on Carrier’s plan to build a $600 million plant in Texas to manufacture cooling equipment for AI data centers.
The article, by Bob Tita, reports that cooling equipment manufacturers are adding production capacity to keep up with growing demand from AI data centers.
“Anywhere you have a lot of power, it generates heat,” Mertz said. “As data centers have grown, the heat complexities have grown as well, and so has everything around cooling in the data center.”
At EverOn, cooling is a design and construction priority, not a back-of-house system. EverOn plans power and cooling together from the start of every project, so each facility performs as designed on day one.
