Called PowerCore 5.0, the containerised module will reduce power infrastructure delivery timelines by more than 50%.

- 6 August 2026 - Bridge Data Centres (BDC), a Singapore-headquartered
hyperscale data centre provider, and Morong Electric, an electrical
manufacturing specialist, have launched PowerCore 5.0, the world's first
fully prefabricated power module designed for high-density AI data
centres.
Built for high-density AI workloads on accelerated deployment timelines,
the module complies with the technical standards of BDC's proprietary
i-Power Cube, its power system designed for high-performance computing.
It integrates seamlessly with the Bridge Omni Platform, BDC's modular
intelligent infrastructure platform for the AI era. PowerCore 5.0
combines BDC's global hyperscale delivery experience with Morong
Electric's end-to-end electrical manufacturing expertise.
Rapid AI advancement has driven rack power densities from 10kW to more
than 100kW, placing stringent new demands on mission-critical power
infrastructure. Traditional delivery models, which rely on fragmented
procurement and on-site system integration, struggle to cater to the
rigorous requirements of AI-optimised data centres. Drawing on BDC's
global campus delivery footprint and Morong Electric's electrical
engineering expertise, PowerCore 5.0 addresses these challenges through
four core design attributes: factory pre-integration, standardised
global transport, parallel construction and maintenance without
downtime.
Factory pre-integration
Each unit integrates transformers, power distribution, uninterruptible
power supply (UPS), cooling, fire suppression and monitoring systems
into a single module, fully assembled and tested off-site. Site teams
need only complete the final cable connections on delivery, removing the
quality inconsistencies that accompany conventional field construction.
Standardised global transport
Built on a standard 40ft ISO container frame, the module integrates
seamlessly with global shipping networks, eliminating oversized freight
premiums, dedicated transport and protracted customs delays that hinder
cross-border deployments. Purpose-engineered for BDC's core markets, it
complies with local climatic benchmarks and industrial standards to
enable dependable global rollout.
Shortened delivery timelines by more than 50%
On-site civil works and factory prefabrication proceed simultaneously,
shortening total delivery timelines by more than 50% compared with
conventional build methods
[1]. Large campuses can
deploy units on a bi-weekly cadence, matching the rapid scaling and
flexible capacity expansion that AI demands.
Maintenance without downtime
In an industry first, core components including UPS units, transformers
and precision cooling are mounted on slide-out rails. Technicians can
withdraw and service individual units without interrupting power to the
data centre, keeping high-density compute clusters running around the
clock.
Mr Zhang Binghua, Chief Technology Officer of BDC, said, "The AI
infrastructure sector is scaling at an unprecedented rate, and operators
now require higher power density, faster hardware refreshes and maximum
uptime. This shift requires us to rethink how power systems are
designed and deployed. PowerCore 5.0 raises the bar on system
integration, cross-climate operation, delivery speed and intelligent
operations and maintenance. It will enable standardised, low-carbon
compute deployments across the globe and provide the stable power
foundation to support the continued growth of the global AI ecosystem."
Mr Zhang Kai, Chairman of Morong Electric, said, "AI hardware now
evolves on a monthly cycle, and traditional on-site system integration
can no longer keep pace with the operational needs of modern AI data
centres. Prefabricated power modules clear the delivery bottlenecks
holding back compute infrastructure expansion. This launch marks a
critical milestone in our strategic partnership, and we will continue to
co-develop high-performance, integrated power solutions that meet
global market standards and regional compliance requirements."
BDC and Morong Electric will continue to develop prefabricated power
modules engineered for ultra-high-density compute and cross-border
regulatory alignment. Both companies aim to advance industry-wide
technical standardisation and the collaborative development of compute
infrastructure. Their low-carbon, modular power solutions will support
the sustainable and scalable growth of AI operations across
international markets.
