Founded in 2021. We develop energy-intensive sites, engineer and buy the power equipment that energizes them, and implement the software and AI systems that small businesses run on.
CornRex started in 2021 sourcing power and land for Bitcoin mining sites in the SPP and PJM markets. The work turned out to be less about mining than about electricity: finding real capacity, getting a load letter answered, sizing and buying a transformer that would actually arrive, and keeping a contractor honest on a pad in the middle of a field.
Clients kept asking for the next thing. They had a site energized and no system for tracking what they had bought. They had a shop full of equipment and a spreadsheet pretending to be inventory. They had heard about AI and had no idea which end to pick it up by.
So the practice grew a second half. The same discipline that keeps a 20 MW load on schedule — a written specification, a procurement plan built around the longest lead item, a commissioning checklist somebody has to sign — turns out to be exactly what a software or AI rollout needs and almost never gets.
We are deliberately small. Every engagement is run by the person who scoped it. That limits how much work we take, and it is the reason the work lands.
We sit on the owner's side of the table, and every recommendation we write is meant to be checked by someone else.
Everything from the utility's side of the meter to the pad the load sits on.
Everything a growing company needs to stop running itself out of a spreadsheet.
Every recommendation has already been through a factory, a yard or a go-live. We will tell you what typically goes wrong at that step, because we have watched it go wrong.
Where we represent an equipment manufacturer, we say so before you ask, and we will not write the specification that selects our own line without telling you we did.
We plan backwards from the longest-lead item and name it in week one. If the transformer is forty weeks out, no amount of construction sequencing changes your energization date.
If the capacity is not there, the economics do not close, or the software you want will not survive your staff, you will hear it in the first two weeks rather than the last two.
Miners and compute operators building 5–50 MW behind a utility or substation interconnect.
Shops, fabricators and service companies outgrowing spreadsheets and one overloaded office manager.
Transformer and power-equipment factories that need their capability translated into the specifications US buyers issue.
Owners sitting on capacity or acreage who want to know what it is actually worth to a large flexible load.
To give independent operators and small businesses the caliber of power engineering and technology execution that large companies keep in-house.
A grid where energy-intensive computing is built responsibly, and a business floor where small teams run on systems as capable as their ambition.
A site lead, a transformer specification, a software mess, or an AI idea you have not been able to scope.
