Prime Data Centers Achieves Energy Star Certification for Facilities in Dallas and Sacramento
Prime Data Centers has received Energy Star certification from the U.S. EPA for its computing facilities in Dallas and Sacramento, placing them in the top 25% of U.S. buildings for energy efficiency. The 20-megawatt Dallas facility and 26-megawatt Sacramento facility employ closed-loop air and liquid cooling systems, minimizing energy and water usage.
The company aims to pursue Energy Star certification for all eligible U.S. data centers. In 2025, 25 major U.S. data center projects were abandoned due to growing scrutiny over environmental impacts. Prime is committed to using 100% renewable energy and has diverted 83% of waste at its construction sites.
Other tech companies, including Microsoft, are also facing challenges in meeting sustainability goals, with rising greenhouse gas emissions reported. Prime plans to utilize hydrotreated vegetable oil for backup generators by 2030.
