01 / Project scope

Define the power path from service to equipment.

Bring the engineered electrical package for your AI facility, data center, server room, or phased expansion. Blackstone reviews the installation scope from service equipment through distribution and equipment connections with the general contractor, engineer, and vendors. Our team is based in Peoria, Arizona; project location and availability are confirmed during review.

Switchgear, transformers, panelboards, and feeders
Branch distribution and rack-power connection requirements
Grounding, bonding, identification, and equipment interfaces
New electrical construction and existing-facility expansions

02 / Project scope

Account for computing and cooling loads together.

Data-center electrical planning needs both the initial and future equipment loads. Include the IT load schedule and the electrical requirements for cooling equipment so the design team can evaluate the whole facility. For AI computing, identify the planned rack loads, phases of deployment, and equipment connections rather than relying on floor area alone.

One-line diagrams, electrical drawings, and load schedules
Rack and power-distribution equipment requirements
Cooling-equipment power and controls boundaries
Future phases and reserved distribution capacity

03 / Project scope

Assign backup-power and commissioning responsibilities.

Generators, transfer equipment, UPS systems, and critical-load distribution have interfaces that must be clear in the contract documents. Identify the installation, vendor startup, testing, and commissioning responsibilities in the bid package. Redundancy, uptime targets, and equipment selection follow the owner’s engineered requirements; they are not assumed from the words “data center.”

Generator and transfer-equipment electrical connections
UPS input/output and bypass interfaces shown on the plans
Vendor-furnished versus contractor-furnished equipment
Testing, labeling, documentation, and turnover requirements

04 / Project scope

Plan the service connection and any live-site work.

Share the utility correspondence, service requirements, bid deadline, and site restrictions with the electrical plans. For an operating facility, identify permitted outages, access limits, and the agreed sequence for adding or replacing equipment. Blackstone reviews the package and coordination needs before confirming the electrical scope.

Property address and serving electric utility
Existing drawings and proposed service changes
Bid alternates, addenda, and procurement responsibilities
Access, outage, and energization requirements from the project team

Data center project planning

Before you request a bid.

What should I send for a data center electrical bid?

Send the location, one-line diagram, electrical plans, specifications, load and equipment schedules, bid deadline, and utility correspondence. Include scope boundaries for UPS, generators, cooling equipment, controls, startup, and commissioning.

Can the scope cover a server room or phased AI expansion?

Submit the planned equipment, existing service information, and phasing requirements. Blackstone reviews the electrical installation package and confirms project fit and availability before accepting the work.

Does an electrical bid establish the facility’s redundancy or uptime?

No. Those requirements must come from the owner and design team. The electrical bid needs the applicable drawings, equipment requirements, testing responsibilities, and acceptance criteria.
