Sustainability
Aston is maximizing the generational opportunity to drive the transition to carbon free energy and support the companies whose data centers we power in achieving their goals to achieve 24/7 carbon free supply chains.
Accelerated carbon-free energy
As we accelerate the transition to carbon-free energy for the global supply chain, we consider the role we have as a partner to the communities in which we live, work, and operate.
We have established the Aston Campus Charter to codify our commitments around energy, water, biodiversity, and communities.
The Aston Campus Charter ensures alignment with our partners on our operating principles.

In addition to local generation, Aston campuses also can be built for future connection to the North American Power Grid for advantages of additional future supply and backup service benefits.
But because campuses are capable of standalone operation independent of the grid, the timeline to begin operations is years faster than if grid interconnection were required.
