SOLUNA HOLDINGS INC Stock Price, News & Analysis

EDF Renewables North America and Masdar have signed a significant power purchase agreement (PPA) with Soluna Holdings (NASDAQ: SLNH) for their Las Majadas Wind Project. Under the agreement, Soluna will purchase up to 166 megawatts (MW) of energy to power their new data center, Project Kati, which will be built near the wind project's substation in Willacy County, Texas.

The innovative PPA structure addresses transmission constraints and curtailment challenges by utilizing behind-the-meter power. Project Kati will adjust operations during peak grid demand periods. The Las Majadas Wind facility, with a total capacity of 273 MW, has been operational since 2021.

This partnership aims to support the growing electricity demands of data centers, particularly driven by AI applications, while advancing renewable energy adoption. The agreement provides an alternative solution to capture under-utilized electricity while powering energy-intensive computing operations with clean energy.

Soluna Holdings (NASDAQ: SLNH) has secured a land purchase agreement for 60 acres to develop Project Rosa, a new data center that will harness up to 187 MW of renewable energy for AI and Bitcoin mining operations.

The project will be strategically co-located with a 240 MW wind farm in Texas, allowing direct access to sustainable energy. Project Rosa will be developed in two phases and aligns with Soluna's mission to utilize excess renewable energy while creating sustainable, scalable, low-cost data centers for next-generation computing workloads.

"Securing these land agreements is a critical achievement for Soluna," said John Belizaire, CEO. "Project Rosa not only enhances our operational capacity but also reinforces our commitment to delivering sustainable, cutting-edge solutions in high performance computing."

The project is named after Rosalind Franklin, a chemist whose work was central to understanding the molecular structures of DNA, RNA, and viruses, continuing Soluna's tradition of naming data centers after women who have made significant contributions to science and technology.
