Soluna Holdings Announces Solar-Powered Data Center Project Annie in Texas
Soluna Holdings, Inc, a leading developer of green data centers for high-performance computing applications, including Bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence (AI), has announced the signing of a term sheet for a new 75 MW data center, co-located with a 114 MW solar farm in northeast Texas.
The project, named Project Annie, marks Soluna’s first solar-powered deployment and represents a significant step toward sustainable computing.
A Strategic Expansion into Solar-Rich Markets
Project Annie is designed to convert underutilized solar energy into high-performance computing power, supporting the company’s mission to leverage excess renewable power for scalable and cost-effective digital infrastructure.
Developed in partnership with a prominent US renewable energy operator, the project emphasizes the growing role of solar energy in powering intensive computing applications.
John Belizaire, CEO of Soluna, said, “Project Annie is a game-changer.”
He added, “It’s our first project tapping solar energy, and it paves the way for sustainable computing that works in harmony with the sun. We're proud to honor Annie Easley, a computing and energy pioneer, with a project that merges both worlds.”
The announcement of Project Annie adds to Soluna's expanding development pipeline, which now exceeds 773 MW across wind, grid, and solar-powered computing projects. Soluna will focus on completing the remaining power purchase agreements, land agreements, and planning with the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) as it moves forward with the project.
