Soluna Signs Power Deal for New 100MW Green Data Center in Texas
Soluna Holdings, Inc., a developer of green data centers for high-performance computing (HPC), Bitcoin mining, and AI workloads, announced it has signed a term sheet for power to support its newest project, Project Ellen. The facility will be a 100-megawatt (MW) data center co-located with a 145MW wind farm in South Texas.
The wind farm is owned by a prominent renewable energy operator with a global footprint in sustainable infrastructure. The collaboration represents a strategic step in Soluna’s mission to align large-scale computing with renewable energy assets, ensuring both economic and environmental benefits.
Two-Phase Development to Power Scalable Green Computing
Project Ellen is set to be developed in two 50MW phases, tapping into the wind farm’s generation to enable energy-efficient computing. The project exemplifies Soluna’s goal of repurposing underutilized renewable energy to power critical digital infrastructure.
John Belizaire, CEO of Soluna Holdings said, “With Project Ellen, we continue to prove that computing can be a powerful driver for renewable energy adoption.”
He added, “This expansion in Texas reinforces our commitment to solving the challenge of underutilized green power while providing the infrastructure needed for the future of Bitcoin and AI.”

Growing Renewable Capacity and Honoring Innovation
Once operational, Project Ellen will boost Soluna’s total data center footprint to over 698MW across operational, in-construction, or planned facilities. Staying true to its tradition of honoring pioneering women in science and technology, Soluna named the project after Ellen Ochoa, the first Hispanic woman to go to space and a leader in aerospace engineering.
The company will now focus on finalizing power purchase and land agreements and completing ERCOT grid planning to bring Project Ellen online.
