Cooling

Closed-loop

Grid-served by Rocky Mountain Power. After the utility initially could not guarantee sufficient grid power, the city approved on-site gas turbines and a separate 200 MW gas plant as options, but QTS ultimately secured grid supply. QTS declines to disclose the campus's power capacity (third-party trackers estimate over 650 MW at full build-out); it reports portfolio-wide carbon-free electricity for 2024.

A closed-loop system that QTS says does not consume water for cooling once operational — roughly a 600,000-gallon one-time fill per building plus modest domestic use — avoiding an estimated 250–300 million gallons/year versus evaporative cooling.
