We build our own power.
SmartTec runs NVIDIA and Cerebras compute on z1power megawatt batteries. Founded in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Now reserving capacity ahead of Q4 2026 power-on.
From a Tulsa garage to megawatt-scale LFP.
We started SmartTec because we watched too many good GPU deployments get stuck waiting for grid connections. A 5-year interconnection queue is a great way to kill an AI roadmap.
We'd been building battery systems for years under the z1power brand — for utilities, for industrial sites. We knew the tech. What we didn't know was why nobody had built a vertically-integrated AI cloud on top of it.
So we built it. z1power makes the batteries. SmartTec runs the compute. AURA orchestrates the whole thing. One team, one roof, one phone number.
First-phase capacity is reserved. Power-on is targeted for Q4 2026 in Oklahoma. We're looking for design partners who want to lock in launch pricing.
How we work.
We build what we sell.
z1power batteries are made in our own facility. We're vertically integrated because we couldn't find anyone else doing it right.
Power is the product.
We sell compute, but compute is downstream of power. Own the power and you own the constraint.
Battery, not diesel.
The industry's BYOP answer is gas. We'd rather not put more combustion on the planet.
Ship honest numbers.
If a spec isn't real, we don't publish it. If a target is aspirational, we say so.
