Voltane vs Ardus: Land Sites or Capacity

What Ardus is

According to its website (checked November 2026), Ardus offers "Powered Data Center Capacity from 1 MW to 10 MW". The homepage describes matching customers with existing data center sites that already have power and cooling, then verifying those sites and setting a go-live date.

The work listed on the page includes site scoring, power and redundancy checks, cooling and rack-density matching, fiber and access terms, and capacity, term and pricing. The page is aimed at organizations that need 1 MW to 10 MW and bring their own GPUs. A customer starts by mapping requirements, booking a call or sending an email.

What Voltane is

Voltane is a siting service for projects that need a lot of power. You tell Voltane what you need: megawatts, target energization year, region and acreage. Voltane then finds candidate sites in Texas, with a focus on ERCOT, reports on each one and returns a priced shortlist. It starts with a request form and a booked call. See Find me a site.

Behind the service is Voltane's own Texas map engine, built from public data. It reads land for distance to transmission lines and substations, interconnection queue activity, flood zones, wetlands, protected land, gas pipelines and more. Every fact carries its source and date. Every estimate is labelled as an estimate, with its range and its method. The engine is an internal tool, not a public product. Voltane shows the evidence the engine produced for each site in the report.

Some limits, stated plainly. Voltane's capacity signal is a proxy built from distance to transmission and queue competition. It is never available MW at a substation. Voltane does not publish landowner names. Its results are screening only, not a site suitability determination. A second service, Analyze my site, for a site you already have in the contiguous United States, is available by request; online ordering is not open yet.

How they differ

Question	Ardus	Voltane
Model	Requirements-led matching to existing data center capacity, per its site	Done-for-you engagement that starts with a request form and a call
What you get	Verified sites with power and cooling for 1 MW to 10 MW, per its site	A priced shortlist of candidate sites, with a sourced report on each
Coverage	Customers name a region. See their site	Texas, with a focus on ERCOT. Analyze my site takes sites across the contiguous United States, by request
Who does the work	Ardus, per its site	Voltane, using its internal map engine

The two share a model: you state what you need and someone else does the search. The object is different. Ardus, from what its site says, looks for space in data centers that already exist, at 1 MW to 10 MW. Voltane looks for land in Texas where a new data center, power plant or storage project could be built and connected.

Which fits when

Ardus may fit when you need a few megawatts of ready capacity for compute and do not plan to build.

Voltane may fit when you are developing a new site and need land with a credible path to power in Texas.

Questions people ask

Does Voltane find colocation space?

No. Voltane finds land sites for new projects in Texas. It does not match buyers with existing data center capacity.

How does a Voltane engagement start?

With a request form that captures MW, target energization year, region and acreage, followed by a booked call.
