New Era Energy & Digital secured a 20-year power purchase agreement with Vistra for up to 207 MW of electricity to power the first phase of its Texas Critical Data Center, scheduled for 2027 delivery. The PPA draws from Vistra's 1,180 MW natural gas plant adjacent to the data center site, supporting AI workloads and enabling scalable expansion to a potential 1.4 GW capacity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
The availability of a long-term power deal next to your next data centre is rare and greatly reduces build risk. You can now plan your launch confidently knowing power supply won’t stall construction or expansion up to 207 MW.
