NECA member Guarantee Electric of St. Louis was the electrical contractor for a new data center boasting the largest rooftop solar panel array in Missouri. The $50 million facility will be the central data facility for Emerson, a diversified global manufacturing and technology company. From the St. Louis Business Journal article by Kelsey Volkmann:
The center will function as the brains of the company, housing all financial and manufacturing data needed to run Emerson and its more than 200 manufacturing locations worldwide. […]
Once information technology applications go live in August, the company said its 35,000-square-foot data center will be 31 percent more energy efficient than traditional data centers, thanks to precision cooling products and a 7,800-square-foot rooftop solar array.
Congratulations to Guarantee Electric for making this great project a green reality!
