Soluna Holdings, Inc., a developer of green data centers for intensive computing applications, announced it has achieved a key milestone of one gigawatt of clean computing projects across its operational, construction, and development pipeline, driven by the launch of two new solar and wind-powered facilities in Texas. The company aims to lead sustainable data center development in the United States.
The 1 GW milestone was reached with the introduction of Project Fei, a solar-powered facility in northern Texas, and Project Gladys, a wind-powered facility in the southeast region of the state. These projects integrate renewable energy directly with high-performance computing infrastructure, including applications for Bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence.
Project Fei is a 100 MW data center co-located with a 240 MW utility-scale solar farm. This facility, Soluna’s second solar-based project, is being developed in partnership with a global leader in energy infrastructure investment. Its purpose is to convert underutilized solar energy into clean computing power. The project is currently progressing through land acquisition, power contract negotiation, and ERCOT interconnection planning. Project Fei is named in honor of Dr. Fei-Fei Li, an AI researcher recognized for her work, including the creation of ImageNet.
Project Gladys, a 150 MW facility, will be co-located with a 226 MW wind farm. This project is being developed in collaboration with a prominent U.
S.-based independent power producer (IPP) that manages over $40 billion in assets across more than 80 energy facilities nationwide. Similar to Project Fei, it is advancing through land acquisition, power contract negotiation, and ERCOT interconnection planning. Project Gladys is named after Dr. Gladys West, a mathematician whose work in geospatial modeling was foundational to modern GPS technology.
John Belizaire, CEO of Soluna, stated, “Reaching one gigawatt of clean computing projects in our total development pipeline is a transformative moment for Soluna. Getting these projects from development to operational will put us on par with some of the biggest companies in the world when it comes to clean-powered computing capacity, including Amazon, Meta, and Google.” He added that the company believes this capacity may effectively displace nearly 48 million metric tons of CO₂, an amount equivalent to removing 11 million cars from the road over the life of these assets.
Soluna, which designs, develops, and operates digital infrastructure to transform surplus renewable energy into global computing resources, plans to announce additional expansions and partnerships. The company’s long-term power pipeline currently totals 2.8 GW, supporting its mission to establish clean computing as the default infrastructure for AI and Bitcoin. Soluna’s immediate focus includes finalizing definitive power purchase agreements, land agreements, and ERCOT planning for Projects Gladys and Fei.
