According to industry sources on April 22, Hanwha Qcells has partnered with Microsoft and Prime Group Holdings to develop urban edge data centers and battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the United States.

Edge data centers are designed to deliver low-latency AI inference and real-time data processing services close to end users, complementing centralized AI data centers.

Under the partnership, the three companies plan to deploy edge data centers and BESS across properties owned by Prime, strategically leveraging urban and suburban real estate in the U.S. to build ultra-low-latency, highly connected networks.
