EnEarthia Highlights ResStor™ and Energy Efficiency Innovation at Climate Week NYC 2026

New York | September 22, 2026

EnEarthia participated in industry discussions on the future of AI data center energy infrastructure during Super South Climate Week NYC 2026, held at Rivian Space in Manhattan on September 22.

The event brought together entrepreneurs, investors, technology innovators, and industry leaders to explore the rapidly growing energy demands of artificial intelligence, data centers, and electrification, along with innovative infrastructure solutions needed to support sustainable growth.

Powering the AI Data Center Economy

The “Electrification and Powering the Future” discussion featured representatives from EnEarthia, VECKTA, Voltus, Iron Mountain, and KKR, addressing key challenges and opportunities related to distributed energy resources, behind-the-meter generation, grid reliability, and infrastructure investment.

Katerina Yared, Senior Advisor to EnEarthia, participated in the discussion, emphasizing the importance of energy efficiency as a critical complement to expanding electricity generation and grid infrastructure.

As AI-driven computing demand accelerates, improving the efficiency of existing energy systems can help unlock additional electrical capacity without relying exclusively on new power generation.

The next megawatt does not always need to be generated. Sometimes, it can be made available through efficiency.

ResStor™: Unlocking Energy Capacity Through Smarter Cooling

One of the most significant opportunities for improving data center energy efficiency is reducing the electricity required for cooling.

EnEarthia is commercializing ResStor™, an innovative subsurface thermal energy storage technology developed by TEVERRA, designed to address this challenge.

By utilizing underground reservoirs as large-scale thermal storage resources and heat sinks, ResStor aims to:

• Reduce electricity consumption associated with data center cooling.

• Minimize reliance on water-intensive cooling systems.

• Free up valuable electrical capacity for AI computing and other critical operations.

• Support more resilient and sustainable data center infrastructure.

Rather than depending solely on additional generation, transmission, and distribution capacity, ResStor introduces an alternative approach: unlocking existing electrical capacity through improved cooling efficiency.

This approach has the potential to support the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure while addressing increasing pressure on electricity grids and water resources.

Advancing the Next Wave of Sustainable Innovation

Dr. Hamed Soroush, Founder and CEO of EnEarthia and Founder and President of TEVERRA, was also invited to participate in Climate Week NYC discussions, including “The Next Wave of Sustainable Innovation.”

EnEarthia's engagement at Climate Week NYC reflects its mission to bring innovative subsurface thermal energy technologies to market and help address the growing energy and infrastructure challenges facing data centers and other energy-intensive industries.

As power availability becomes an increasingly important constraint on AI infrastructure development, EnEarthia believes the industry must address two fundamental questions:

Where will the next megawatt come from? And how can we make every existing megawatt work harder?

Through the commercialization of ResStor, EnEarthia is working to demonstrate how subsurface thermal energy storage can become an important component of next-generation data center cooling and energy infrastructure.

EnEarthia thanks Super South, Rivian, the participating organizations, and industry leaders for facilitating these important discussions and advancing collaboration toward a more efficient and sustainable energy future.
