Schneider Electric has announced that Digital Realty has signed a $373 million Supply Capacity Agreement (SCA) for Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), Low Voltage Switchgear (LVS), and Pre-Fabricated Skids.
Building on years of close collaboration, Schneider Electric and Digital Realty have evolved their longstanding partnership to support rising capacity demands and deliver greater supply chain resilience. The strategic shift to an SCA model provides guaranteed capacity, economies of scale, and a dedicated LVS production line, while preserving the flexibility needed for a dynamic, multi-vendor environment to mitigate risk.
“As demand for digital infrastructure continues to accelerate, securing reliable capacity has become more critical than ever,” said Jeff Tapley, Chief Operating Officer, Digital Realty. “This agreement with Schneider Electric strengthens our ability to scale with confidence, while maintaining the flexibility and resilience our customers expect. By deepening our collaboration, we’re creating a more agile and future-ready supply chain to support the next phase of growth.”
This collaboration marks a pivotal step in evolving Schneider Electric and Digital Realty’s partnership to meet the growing demands of the digital economy. By extending collaboration beyond core power solutions into areas such as prefabrication and switchgear, the companies are laying the foundation for a more resilient, scalable, and future-ready supply model. This shift reflects Digital Realty’s forward-looking approach to securing critical infrastructure capacity.
“The data center industry is at a turning point. AI workloads and reindustrialization are creating fast ramping demand that today’s infrastructure cannot meet,” said Vandana Singh, Senior Vice President, Secure Power Division, North America at Schneider Electric. “In partnership with Digital Realty, we are applying Schneider Electric’s energy technology across power solutions, prefabrication, and switchgear to add capacity closer to where it is and build a more resilient supply chain.”
