Aston Power Secures $20 Million to Scale Private Power Platform for Data Centers
Aston Power, a U.S.-based power delivery platform, has raised $20 million in a funding round led by TDK Ventures and JLL Spark Global Ventures, signaling growing investor appetite for alternative power solutions tailored to the data center and AI infrastructure boom. The company plans to use the capital to expand its physical operations, scale across North America, and accelerate the deployment of its full-power infrastructure platform, which integrates generation, transmission, firming, and delivery into a single managed service.
The funding comes as the data center industry faces mounting pressure from utility interconnection delays, which can stretch five to ten years for grid connections. Aston Power’s platform bypasses these queues by creating private power networks for data centers and other large industrial offtakers, combining on-site generation, storage, and private transmission infrastructure. According to the company, its system can deliver utility-grade power in two to three years, drastically cutting the timeline for projects that are critical to supporting the rapid expansion of AI workloads.
Aston Power’s software platform orchestrates the entire power stack in real time, enabling a more agile and reliable approach to energy delivery. The company’s current pipeline includes approximately 2 gigawatts of power capacity tied to active projects in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Despite this significant pipeline, Aston has yet to formally sign an agreement with a data center developer, though it remains focused on serving that sector.
Greg Robinson, co-founder and CEO of Aston Power, said in a statement: “AI is changing infrastructure requirements faster than the traditional power industry can keep up. The volume of requests we get from data center developers and infrastructure investors keeps validating the need for a full-stack solution. These strategic investments from JLL and TDK accelerate our ability to scale, expand our geographic footprint, and deliver a total power solution to more projects.”
Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, Aston Power is positioning itself as a key enabler for the next wave of large-scale industrial and AI infrastructure. The backing from TDK Ventures and JLL Spark Global Ventures underscores the strategic importance of private power networks in an era where grid limitations are becoming a bottleneck for digital infrastructure growth.
