CyrusOne Signs 210MW Energy Deal with Calpine

Calpine Corporation this week announced the second phase of its 400MW power supply agreement with CyrusOne to serve a new data center adjacent to the Thad Hill Energy Center in Bosque County, Texas.

"Our partnership with Calpine exemplifies the innovation required to meet the growth in data center demand," said Eric Schwartz, CEO of CyrusOne. "By expanding our agreement to 400MW with their Powered Land Capabilities, we've enabled a comprehensive solution for power, grid connectivity, and site infrastructure, while maintaining our commitment to responsible energy use. The Thad Hill facility will set a benchmark for future hyperscale developments across Texas and beyond."

"One of the agreement attributes that we are most proud of is the ability for Calpine and CyrusOne to coordinate our operations to ensure grid reliability in times of supply scarcity," said Andrew Novotny, Calpine's president and CEO. "By continuing to actively manage our generation output, these partnerships actually enhance grid reliability by curtailing in times of need. These agreements also deliver significant financial benefits for the community and the state of Texas, all while helping the US lead in the critical AI race simultaneously."
