In a significant move bridging the energy and digital infrastructure sectors, ProPetro Holding Corp. has entered into a strategic power supply agreement to provide 60 megawatts (MW) of electricity to a new hyperscale data center located in the U.S. Midwest. The agreement, announced on October 28, 2025, underscores the growing demand for reliable, large-scale power sources to fuel the expansion of cloud computing and artificial intelligence.
The 60MW capacity is slated to support the first phase of the data center's operations, with the potential for future expansion as the facility scales. This contract represents a notable diversification for ProPetro, a provider of energy services to North American oil and gas companies, as it leverages its expertise in power generation and logistics to serve the rapidly growing technology sector.
Hyperscale data centers, which are massive facilities built by major cloud providers like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, require immense and uninterrupted power to run their servers and cooling systems. The selection of a Midwest location is often driven by factors such as access to affordable energy, available land, and favorable connectivity.
Industry analysts view this agreement as a bellwether for the convergence of energy and digital infrastructure. As the demand for data processing and storage continues to surge, technology firms are increasingly seeking direct partnerships with power providers to secure their long-term operational needs and manage energy costs effectively.
Financial terms of the deal between ProPetro and the unnamed hyperscale client were not disclosed. The partnership is expected to be operational in line with the data center's construction timeline, contributing to regional economic development and technological capacity in the Midwest.
