Australia’s distributed AI data centre platform backed by energy storage
Tesseract AI is building a national portfolio of modular, AI-ready data centres across Australia’s major metropolitan markets. With a development pipeline exceeding 200 MW, we’re accelerating AI infrastructure by unlocking power where it’s needed most.
We combine our expertise in grid connections, energy storage and Virtual Power Plant platform to deliver a network of sites with exceptional:
- 01
Speed to build
- 02
Adapting existing grid infrastructure where possible
- 03
Access to low-cost energy

The problem
AI demand is accelerating. The grid is the constraint.
AI is creating unprecedented demand for data-centre capacity, but the primary constraint is no longer compute hardware — it is access to power.
Traditional data-centre development relies on securing large blocks of grid capacity in the locations where demand is already concentrated. That means long connection queues, fewer viable sites, and increasing pressure on already constrained networks.
The result is a growing gap between where AI compute is needed and where new capacity can realistically be delivered.
Closing that gap requires a different approach to power.
The widening gap
AI compute demandAvailable grid capacity
Illustrative. Demand for AI compute is outpacing the rate at which new grid capacity can be connected in the locations where that compute is needed.
Our Solution — TESSERACT Powered Shell+
We unlock AI capacity where the grid is constrained.
A conventional powered shell provides the building and grid connection. Our solution, Powered Shell+, goes further — integrating battery storage and flexible-load control from the outset to make better use of constrained power.
By designing the site around the available grid capacity, we can unlock connection pathways, reduce exposure to energy costs and make viable locations that conventional data-centre development may overlook.
Development pathway
01
Grid assessment
Network capacity and constraints mapped before anything is committed.
02
Land
Sites secured where that capacity, fibre and services already reach.
03
DA
Development application lodged and planning approval secured.
04
Grid connection
Connection agreement progressed with the network operator.
05
Build
Modular construction to a repeatable design.
06
Operate
Energised and run under FlexDC, holding service targets through grid events.
How we unlock a site
-
01
Site origination
We source and develop strategically located sites with access to existing power, fibre, land and infrastructure.
-
02
Grid expertise
We identify viable connection opportunities and navigate the process of bringing new load onto constrained networks.
-
03
Energy storage and flexible load
We design battery storage and flexible load in from the outset to reshape a site’s demand profile, helping create an operating envelope that works within network constraints. This can make connections viable in locations conventional data-centre development may overlook.
-
04
Repeatable development
We turn each opportunity into a standardised, modular AI data-centre build — accelerating deployment and creating a repeatable model that can scale across markets.

FlexDC
FlexDC turns constrained power into usable compute
FlexDC is Tesseract’s proprietary power-control layer and part of the Powered Shell+ package. It continuously balances grid supply, battery storage and compute demand to maximise the usable IT load on a power-constrained site — while keeping the site inside its service targets and its connection agreement.
Rather than treating it as a fixed ceiling, FlexDC manages power as a resource that changes across the day.
What it delivers
02
More compute per connection
Increases usable IT load on a constrained site through coordinated battery and demand management.
03
Protected service targets
Supports availability through intelligent battery dispatch and controlled load management.
04
Portfolio-scale optimisation
As the network grows, FlexDC Portfolio Cloud coordinates multiple sites and battery systems as a single intelligent energy network — a virtual power plant (VPP) of distributed data centres.
A day on site — 24 hours
Grid price Grid draw Battery supply
Illustrative. Battery storage and flexible load control shift consumption away from high-cost, high-demand periods — and charge when energy is cheapest and cleanest.
How it works
-
01
Forecast
FlexDC continuously forecasts site power capacity using expected IT demand, battery state of charge, electricity prices, grid constraints and renewable generation where available.
-
02
Optimise
FlexDC decides when to charge or discharge on-site batteries, how much reserve to hold for critical periods, and how to allocate available power across the facility.
-
03
Balance
When power is constrained, FlexDC dynamically adjusts GPU power budgets across workloads so service continues with the most efficient use of what’s available.

Why distributed inference
01
Lower latency and proximity to metropolitan demand.
02
Incremental capacity that can be delivered faster than a hyperscale campus.
03
Regional resilience and workload portability across independent sites.
Designed primarily for inference, AI application hosting, sovereign workloads, rendering and other geographically distributable compute — not tightly coupled, hyperscale training clusters requiring a single large RDMA fabric.
Availability
Flexible grid can provide a credible enterprise SLA
Tesseract’s architecture is built around independent power and network failure domains at each site, plus regional capacity across multiple sites. Customers deploy and operate compute across more than one site; in a grid event, eligible workloads are redirected between independent domains and the customer service is designed to continue.
The SLA is delivered through combined site resilience and a regional platform
99.95%
Initial contractual regional SLA
99.99%
Mature enterprise SLA target
How the SLA works with a flexible grid connection: Firm capacity remains protected at all times; flexible and burst capacity move first. A flexible-grid restriction is not SLA downtime unless contracted regional capacity or latency is unavailable.
About Tesseract AI
Unlocking power for AI.
Tesseract AI develops power-ready infrastructure for distributed AI computing. We help address the power and grid-connection constraints that limit AI growth, creating the foundations for computing capacity to expand closer to demand.
Our principal infrastructure solution, Tesseract Powered Shell+, brings together sites, grid connections, battery storage, modular data-centre facilities and intelligent energy management. This gives specialist operators and tenants a practical path to deploying AI capacity while retaining control of their computing equipment, software and AI services.
Our vision is a distributed network of AI-ready infrastructure that grows in harmony with the electricity grid. We begin every project with a credible route to power and design for reliability and flexibility, pursuing faster delivery through sound engineering and disciplined development.
Partnership shapes how we work. By bringing together expertise across energy, technology, property and finance, we aim to turn viable power opportunities into lasting infrastructure. Efficient energy use, renewable-energy integration and constructive engagement with local communities guide our approach to responsible growth.
NVIDIA AI Grid
Power for the AI grid.
NVIDIA describes an AI grid as distributed, interconnected AI infrastructure — AI factories, regional hubs and edge sites orchestrated as a single pool of capacity, with each workload run where it runs best and inference placed close to the users, agents and machines it serves.
A grid like that has to stand on something. Tesseract is building that footprint in Australia: a national portfolio of modular, AI-ready sites developed around the grid capacity actually available, where Powered Shell+ and FlexDC make a connection work that a fixed load could not.
Tesseract AI is a member of the NVIDIA Inception program, which supports companies building on the NVIDIA platform.
