Operating Company

Circe Energy, LLC is a Texas limited liability company headquartered in Houston and formed in March 2023. The company designs, builds, owns and operates on-site power systems, including behind-the-meter natural gas generation, combined heat and power, energy storage and microgrids. It sells the output under a power-as-a-service model to data centers, manufacturers, mining operations and utilities.

Circe is developing its West Texas AI Infrastructure Campus, a 1,950-acre site in the Permian Basin near Monahans in Ward County. The campus pairs on-site natural gas generation with HPC-ready buildings, and tenants can take powered shell, HPC colocation, build-to-suit or GPU-as-a-service space. The design uses direct-to-chip liquid cooling and waste heat recovery.

Circe Energy History:

In June 2026, Circe ordered natural gas generation equipment from Cummins for delivery between 2026 and 2030 to supply its West Texas campus.
