From vision to global recognition.
Founded on the principles of sustainability and innovation, Project Ohm won the AI For Good Innovation Factory Australia competition in May 2025, earning the right to represent Australia at the United Nations AI For Good Global Summit held in Geneva, Switzerland in July 2025.
Advantages over the status quo
The status quo for AI computing is dominated by large-scale, energy-intensive data centres that are typically grid-connected and operate with a flat energy demand, regardless of generation constraints.
These facilities often rely on fossil-based backup power and require costly transmission infrastructure upgrades.
In contrast, Project Ohm’s model offers multiple advantages:
Decentralisation: Our edge-based compute nodes are co-located with renewable assets, reducing transmission congestion and avoiding the need for new infrastructure.
Energy-Aware Operations: By responding to real-time energy pricing and availability, our system consumes power when it is cheapest and cleanest, reducing overall energy costs and emissions.
Scalability: Our modular approach enables rapid deployment across renewable generation sites without the long lead times of traditional data centres.
Economic Value: We monetise stranded energy by turning it into a high-value resource—AI compute cycles—rather than allowing it to go unused.
This combination of grid integration and compute innovation places Project Ohm at the intersection of energy, AI, and sustainability.
Hyperscalers v Project Ohm
Macro-trajectory — hyperscale growth is now constrained by its own gravity
The global pipeline is enormous: ~12.5 GW of capacity is physically under construction
across 97 markets and another 66 GW is “shovel-ready” but waiting for power or permits.
Hyperscalers alone poured an estimated US $244 billion into digital infrastructure in 2024,
+58 % YoY and still rising for 2025. AI-driven rack densities have normalised 200-400 MW campus requests that utilities never planned to serve. The result is an industry that wants to double again by 2027 but is hitting hard limits on land, power and planning timelines rather than on demand.

Project Ohm for the grid, utilities and energy market operators.
The global transition to renewable energy is reshaping electricity markets, introducing significant supply and demand imbalances. These fluctuations lead to grid inefficiencies, requiring costly interventions by operators to maintain stability. As a result, energy pricing for consumers continues to rise, and the integration of renewables faces scalability challenges.
Traditional solutions, such as battery storage, play a role in load shifting but are not sufficient on their own. What’s needed is an intelligent, flexible demand-side solution that can dynamically adjust to grid conditions in real time
For grid operators Project Ohm is a unique Demand Side Management (DSM) solution for Flexible Load & Frequency Response. Ohm nodes provide a Lower CAPEX Alternative to Substation Upgrades. For renewable project operators Ohm nodes improve project economics.
Project Ohm can act as a dispatchable demand-side resource,
participating in ancillary services markets (e.g., FCAS in Australia) for
frequency control and load balancing.
Traditional substation reinforcement requires millions in infrastructure
investment (e.g., transformers, conductors). Ohm Nodes provide utilities a cost efficient mitigation strategy.
Renewable projects (especially solar & wind) often face curtailment or
negative pricing due to grid congestion. Project Ohm provides a direct consumption pathway, improving project economics without additional transmission investment.
Project Ohm’s competitive advantage is built on three reinforcing pillars
Proprietary Intelligence optimising AI Cost and Carbon
At the core of our platform is a proprietary, rules-based energy-aware orchestration engine.
This scheduler dynamically allocates AI workloads based on real-time energy availability and market pricing—turning curtailed renewables into low-cost, low-carbon compute.
Our algorithms are designed to maximise value in edge environments and support ESG mandates for enterprise AI.
Decentralised AI Network Architecture Built for Energy-Constrained, Edge- Optimised AI
Unlike traditional data centres, Ohm nodes are modular, containerised, and deployed near renewable energy sources—without dependence on grid upgrades.
Our network model supports autonomous scaling, remote monitoring, and minimal-touch maintenance, using custom-built telemetry and control systems.
Designed for far-edge deployments in energy-rich but infrastructure-poor regions.
Siting Agreements at the Edge of the Grid
Access to thousands of high-value sites located in renewable-constrained zones via partnership with major land and infrastructure holders.
