Resilience Beyond the Grid

Designing power infrastructure for reliability, flexibility, and transition

Over twenty years in distributed energy. In the data center power conversation since 2016. Now focused on how AI infrastructure solves power at speed without sacrificing long-term sustainability.

Book titled Five Nines and Fast Power by Alex Marshall, with a black cover, white text, and power symbol icons on a wooden desk.

Reliability is no longer a feature of backup systems. It has become a foundational question of how data center infrastructure is conceived, deployed, and evolved. A book on making better energy decisions when speed, resilience, and long-term performance all have to be solved at once.

Five Nines and Fast Power

The Context

AI data centers need power fast, reliably, and sustainably. Those three things rarely align, and the tradeoffs are consequential. This site brings together two decades of work in distributed energy, CHP, and resilient infrastructure to help decision-makers navigate them.
