By one estimate, there are 56 data centers in Quincy, Washington, a town of 8500 people, which makes it the 11th largest market in the country.

Today on The Newsfeed, we take you inside Sabey's fifth and newest building on its Quincy campus 15 years after the company first showed up.

Past the corner from a security desk and security gate, stretch hallways wide enough to roll a pallet of servers down it.

Windowless metal doors lead to four data halls, each covering 40,000 square feet.

Some customers have leased just a handful of server cabinets, while others take over entire buildings.

These companies include banks, hospitals, airlines, streaming services...platforms most people use every day.

Inside the data hall, rows of servers sit back-to-back to each other.

The ends are enclosed in their own boxes to contain the warm air the servers emit.

Fans pull that hot air into cooling rooms that line two sides of the data hall, where it is chilled down with water.

Outside, the same water gets cooled and recirculated back through the closed loop system.

Around the corner, batteries about the size of a person smooth out the incoming power, keeping the voltage steady.

Typically, companies like Sabey price leases in terms of kilowatt.

The entire campus usage is capped at 70MW, the max they can draw at a time from the local utility.

As one data hall gets built out, another one sits empty until Sabey can find more power.

The company says there is a demand.

They plan to build four more data halls after that at this campus in Quincy, once electricity capacity catches.

Up next, we're going to tell you about an energy storage project near the Columbia River that has faced pushback from the Yakima Nation and others.
