Schneider Electric (SBGSY) unveiled software-defined medium-voltage switchgear already deployed in a pilot at an Equinix colocation data center.
The equipment uses standardized, modular hardware and software updates that add capabilities without physical modifications or operational downtime. Based on its studies and estimates, Schneider Electric projects up to 3× faster ordering and manufacturing and up to 2× faster commissioning and onsite acceptance testing. The design uses less wiring and fewer components. Pilots will continue through 2027, with broader availability to follow in 2028. The company plans to extend the architecture across its medium-voltage portfolio and progressively to the rest of its powertrain.
Schneider Electric (SBGSY) launched the Motivair WCDU coolant distribution unit on September 23, 2026 for high‑density AI data centers.
The WCDU integrates liquid and air cooling in a single unit and is designed for corridor-based deployments with top-entry connections to keep white space clear. A single unit delivers up to 3.5 MW of cooling capacity and supports approach temperature differences as low as 2 °C, which the company says can improve PUE and reduce operating costs. Up to 20 units can operate in coordinated group mode to support 30–40 MW data halls, with optional N+1 redundancy up to 2.5 MW for added resiliency.
Levi Strauss & Co., Marks & Spencer and Schneider Electric (SBGSY) launched the Fashion Renewable Collaborative on September 22, 2026.
The initiative aims to help fashion industry suppliers adopt renewable electricity at scale through coordinated brand engagement and practical implementation support. Supported by Schneider Electric’s SE Advisory Services, the program provides suppliers with digital education via the Resource Advisor+ platform, market guidance, and assistance in assessing and procuring options such as PPAs, energy attribute certificates, on-site generation and storage. The collaborative builds on earlier efforts that registered nearly 500 supplier facilities and invites additional fashion brands to join as sponsors and members to expand reach and impact.
Schneider Electric (SBGSY) released research at Climate Week NYC 2026 showing AI-enabled buildings can cut whole-building energy use by up to 22% versus traditional controls.
The study estimates annual utility savings of $13,600–$49,300 per building at current commercial rates, with carbon avoided more than 100 times the AI system’s own footprint. AI-driven HVAC optimization deployed through smart building management systems delivers an additional 7.2–12.7% building energy savings, in some cases exceeding 200 MWh and avoiding up to 60 metric tons of CO₂e per year. Both cloud and edge AI deployments were modeled across building scenarios in Australia, India and the U.S, with small and mid-sized buildings under 100,000 sqft identified as major beneficiaries.
Schneider Electric (OTC: SBGSY) released a first-of-its-kind analysis on managing arc flash risk in 800 VDC data center power architectures, using deployment scenarios informed by leading hyperscalers and AI data center designs.
The study compares two representative 800 VDC architectures (rack-level and centralized), showing that arc flash outcomes depend on architecture, capacitor placement, and fault-clearing behavior. It finds that, even under conservative capacitor-dominated assumptions, arc flash risks in 800 VDC systems can be effectively managed and in many cases are comparable to typical AC systems. Using advanced software and digital twins such as ETAP enables more accurate, time-dependent modeling than traditional standards-based methods, supporting safer design, protection coordination, and work practices. The findings are published in a white paper titled “DC Arc Flash Analysis: A Practical Study on 800 VDC in Data Centers.”
Schneider Electric (OTC:SBGSY) and AMD jointly introduced the first validated reference design for the AMD Helios rack‑scale solution, offering a scalable blueprint for deploying high‑density AI factories with reduced planning time, risk, and integration complexity.
The design supports modular AI clusters up to 10.4 MW IT load and high‑density racks up to 246 kW, incorporates advanced liquid and hybrid cooling that can remove up to 84% of heat, and targets power usage effectiveness (PUE) as low as ~1.12 at full load. It covers four technical domains—facility power, facility cooling, IT space, and lifecycle software—and is validated to ANSI standards for U.S. deployments, with plans to extend to IEC standards for global use.
Schneider Electric (OTC:SBGSY) outlined its VivaTech 2026 agenda, focusing on energy intelligence for AI growth and demand-side efficiency. Executives will join panels on AI’s energy impact, innovation, sovereignty, and Europe’s competitiveness, and meet startups and tech leaders.
The company highlighted a Bloomberg New Economy Energy Technology Coalition case study on Credit Human as a roadmap for resilient, efficient buildings. Schneider Electric also referenced recent moves in AI infrastructure, including serving as a strategic technology and industrial partner in SoftBank’s AI investment in France and a collaboration with Foxconn on integrated, ready-to-deploy AI data center solutions.
Schneider Electric (OTCQX: SBGSY) announced a strategic collaboration with Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) to develop next-generation AI data centers. The partners will combine Foxconn’s advanced compute and manufacturing with Schneider Electric’s power, cooling, and energy management to deliver integrated, ready-to-deploy AI infrastructure solutions. Production of these solutions is expected to begin later this year, with co-developed reference architectures, modular power and cooling skids, and standardized design frameworks aimed at scalable, energy-efficient AI factories worldwide.
Schneider Electric (OTC:SBGSY) and Deloitte announced a collaboration on April 20, 2026 to accelerate AI-enabled digital transformation across industrial operations, IT/OT integration, and software-defined automation.
The partners combine Deloitte’s IndustryAdvantage and Ascend platforms with Schneider Electric’s OT and AI-capable technologies to modernize asset-intensive industries, boost operational resilience, and demo solutions at Hannover Messe 2026.
Boston Athletic Association (SBGSF) released its 2025 Sustainability Report on April 8, 2026, reporting accelerating progress toward a 42% emissions-reduction target, expanded waste-diversion efforts, and strong community impact.
Key results include $50.4 million raised for 172 nonprofits, ~20 tons of clothing donated, 7.7 tons of compostable cups collected, and very high participant inclusion and satisfaction rates.
