The 75MW project will be colocated with a 114MW solar farm.
Crypto and HPC data center provider Soluna has signed a power procurement agreement for its 75MW Project Annie data center in northeast Texas.
The data center, which is being codeveloped with an undisclosed renewable energy developer, will be colocated next to a 114MW solar farm. The project is Soluna’s first to be powered by a solar array, joining Soluna’s portfolio of nine data centers, eight of which are powered by wind energy.
“Project Annie is a game-changer,” said John Belizaire, CEO of Soluna. “It’s our first project tapping solar energy, and it paves the way for sustainable computing that works in harmony with the sun.”
The project is named after Annie Easley, an African American computer scientist and mathematician, best known for her contributions to NASA’s rocket systems and energy technologies.
Following the announcement of the project, the company has said it will focus on completing definitive power purchase agreements, land agreements, and ERCOT planning process.
Project Annie is the latest data center to be announced by Soluna. In April, the company reported that it had signed a term sheet for power for Project Ellen, a new 100MW data center colocated with a 145MW wind farm in South Texas. Project Ellen will be developed in two 50MW phases; further details weren’t shared.
In addition to Ellen and Annie, Soluna operates and is in the process of developing several other campuses in the Texas market. These include the 187MW Project Rosa site; the 50MW Dorothy I A and B, as well as the 48MW Dorothy II; and the 2MW Grace site.
The company is also developing Project Sophie, a planned 25MW data center in Kentucky.
The company now has a portfolio of operational and planned assets with a combined capacity of 773MW. All of its installations will provide Bitcoin hosting services, with six providing AI and HPC hosting services.
