Aston Power secured funding from TDK Ventures and JLL for data center power delivery infrastructure expansion.

Aston Power has secured $20 million in strategic funding from TDK Ventures and Building Ventures, with participation from JLL Spark Global Ventures and others. The Raleigh, North Carolina–based company provides integrated large-scale power delivery solutions for data centers.

The investment reflects growing pressure on energy infrastructure as AI demand outpaces traditional utility capacity. Public utilities are increasingly unable or unwilling to serve large data center operators, forcing companies to source and manage their own power infrastructure—a responsibility they were never designed to assume.

Aston addresses this gap with a coordinated power delivery model that simplifies deployment across generation, transmission, and firming solutions. Rather than leaving customers to manage fragmented systems, the company orchestrates the full stack to deliver reliable power with greater speed, predictability, and operational simplicity.

"AI is changing infrastructure requirements faster than the traditional power industry can keep up," said Greg Robinson, Co-founder and CEO of Aston. "The volume of requests we get from data center developers and infrastructure investors keeps validating the need for a full-stack solution. These strategic investments from JLL and TDK accelerate our ability to scale, expand our geographic footprint and deliver a total power solution to more projects."

Aston's service pipeline currently represents approximately 2 gigawatts of power capacity, with active projects in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.

David Delfassy, Investment Director at TDK Ventures, emphasized the importance of solving deployment coordination: "What stood out to us about Aston is their focus on solving the coordination and deployment challenges that increasingly determine whether large-scale projects can get built at all."

Jesse Devitte, co-founder and general partner at Building Ventures, noted that power availability has become a critical bottleneck for data center development. "The future of data center development will increasingly hinge on access to sufficient reliable power, and Aston's resilient, optimized solution answers this industry-wide problem."

"The power crisis facing large industrial demand is the defining infrastructure challenge of this era, and Aston is solving the hardest part of that problem at a scale no one else is," said Ajey Kaushal, Principal at JLL Spark Global Ventures. "Their ability to bring our clients to power years ahead of conventional timelines gives JLL a meaningful edge in winning and serving the largest energy demand clients."

Founded in 2022, Aston Power works across generation, transmission, firming, and delivery infrastructure to help large-scale industrial and AI infrastructure projects secure reliable power. The company is headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina.
