Flex is acquiring EPC Power in a $4.4 billion deal, expanding its power infrastructure and cloud-related offerings as demand rises for AI data center capacity. The transaction adds EPC Power’s power conversion capabilities, which are positioned for both data center and grid applications.
Both outlets link the acquisition to how AI-driven data centers are changing power architectures. Data Center Knowledge highlights a shift toward 800V DC designs and notes that higher rack densities require new power delivery approaches. PR Newswire similarly emphasizes the company’s differentiated power conversion technologies and highlights capabilities aimed at grid applications.
A key technical focus in the coverage is grid-forming technology and its relevance to power systems. Data Center Knowledge specifically points to adding 800V DC and grid-forming technology, while PR Newswire frames the deal around “grid-forming” capabilities for data center and utility use. The reports present the acquisition as a strategic step to capitalize on AI infrastructure demand and the broader move toward next-generation power conversion.
