About TAR

TAR is building the world's first off-grid power plant for data centers, powered by renewable technologies and designed to accelerate AI infrastructure deployment across the United States. The company's mission is to power intelligence globally by eliminating the 3-5 year grid connection bottleneck that traditionally delays new data center projects, instead manufacturing, deploying, and operating autonomous off-grid energy assets. TAR vertically integrates across the entire stack—from racking systems and power electronics to dispatch algorithms and on-site construction—and has developed autonomous field robots for utility-scale solar site construction. Working directly with one of the world's largest compute providers, TAR plans to deploy 5GW of power by 2028 while operating as both a hardware and software company building critical physical infrastructure. Led by founders who previously scaled a company to over 80 people and $350M in annual sales, TAR operates from its primary office in San Francisco and a pilot site in Fort Stockton, Texas.
