Crypto and AI data center firm Soluna Holdings announced last week that it has signed a term sheet for power for Project Ellen, a new 100MW data center colocated with a 145MW wind farm in South Texas. The wind farm is owned by an unnamed power partner, described as a “leader in renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure” in the US and internationally.
Project Ellen will be developed in two 50MW phases; further details weren’t shared. Project Ellen is named after Ellen Ochoa, the first Hispanic woman to travel to space and a trailblazer in aerospace engineering.
“With Project Ellen, we continue to prove that computing can be a powerful driver for renewable energy adoption,” said John Belizaire, CEO of Soluna Holdings. “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.”
The company also has Project Sophie, which will be a 25MW data center in Kentucky. The company recently signed definitive agreements to secure two parcels of land required to build Project Kati in Texas. The site will offer 166MW and potentially host both Bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence (AI) facilities. The shovel-ready project will be delivered in two 83MW phases.
