SHARON AI Completes Phase One Engineering for Flagship AI Data Center Campus Joint Venture in Texas

Sharon AI, Inc. (“SHARON AI”), a High-Performance Computing (“HPC”) business focused on Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) which has announced entry into a Business Combination Agreement with Roth CH Acquisition Co. (OTC Markets:USCTF), is pleased to provide an update on its progress for its flagship AI Data Center Campus in Ector County, Texas.

Expansion of facilities

Having already secured 235 acres outside Odessa, TX, SHARON AI is confirming the execution of a non-binding letter of intent to acquire an additional contiguous 203 acres, taking the total land that Texas Critical Data Centers (“TCDC”) is able to develop via our 50/50 joint venture with New Era Energy & Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: NUAI), to 438 acres.

The combined 438 acres has now passed the initial environmental and feasibility assessments, ensuring the campus meets the requirements for modern AI facilities. We are continuing to undertake work to acquire the additional 203 acres and obtaining the air permit for the intended behind-the-meter power.

Combining powered land, powered shells, and secured energy supply, will allow TCDC’s vertically integrated model shorter deployment timelines compared to traditional providers. To accelerate the project, work has commenced on phase two engineering.

Pathway to 1GW of capacity

The TCDC campus is being designed to scale ultimately to 1 Gigawatt (GW) of power capacity, positioning it as a premier site for AI-optimized data center complexes in North America. The project is underpinned by several initiatives to achieve the ultimate load required at the campus.

TCDC has executed a non-binding letter agreement with Thunderhead Energy Solutions LLC (“Thunderhead”) for the financing, construction and operation of approximately 250MW of behind-the-meter gas-fired power generation. Thunderhead intends to deploy a combination of reciprocating engines and turbines at the Ector County site over the next 18 months subject to end-customer offtake.

This is combined with a non-binding letter of intent with Mawgan Capital (“Mawgan”) to deploy its proprietary Digital Zero Power ("DZP") solution for the planned data center campus. The DZP platform leverages Irrefutable low carbon intensity gas certificates and carbon credits and is powered by Context Labs’ Context AI Enterprise Carbon Management Platform, an advanced digital infrastructure that enables organizations to quantify and prove the carbon profile of their operations. This structure intends to ensure TCDC’s campus provides reliable, sustainable power with the goal of reducing our carbon footprint and further differentiating our operations from conventional Texas grid-connected data centers.
