Adaptimmune stock plunges after announcing Nasdaq delisting plans
MIDLAND, Texas - New Era Energy & Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq:NUAI) announced Wednesday it has completed Phase One engineering for its flagship data center project in the Permian Basin of West Texas and southeastern New Mexico.
The company said the completed work includes environmental studies, data center feasibility assessments, and load study results for Texas Critical Data Centers LLC (TCDC), a 50/50 joint venture with Sharon AI, Inc.
According to the company, these milestones validate the project’s constructability and establish a pathway for power delivery beginning in early 2027. New Era plans to follow up with a large load interconnection application.
The TCDC campus is being designed to eventually scale to 1 gigawatt (GW) of power capacity. The project includes behind-the-meter power islands intended to deliver reliable power and comply with Texas Senate Bill 6 regulations affecting large loads on the Electric Reliability Council of Texas power grid.
The company stated it is now advancing into Phase Two engineering, which will focus on detailed data center site planning and additional infrastructure integration.
"We are de-risking one of the most ambitious AI data center site developments in the United States," said E. Will Gray II, CEO of New Era Energy & Digital, in the press release statement.
The project is located on 438 acres in the Permian Basin with potential for expansion. The company claims its vertically integrated model is designed to lower tenant costs and shorten deployment timelines compared to traditional providers.
The development comes as demand for GPU compute capacity continues to grow, particularly for artificial intelligence infrastructure.
Based on a company press release, the project remains on schedule as it moves forward with regulatory agencies, engineering partners, and key stakeholders.
