New Era Energy & Digital’s Texas Critical Data Centers Selects EYP Mission Critical Facilities, for Full-Scope Engineering of 438-Acre AI Campus in Odessa, Texas

New Era Energy & Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: NUAI) (“New Era” or the “Company”), a developer and operator of next-generation digital infrastructure and integrated power assets, today announced that Texas Critical Data Centers LLC (“TCDC”), its 50/50 joint venture with Sharon AI, has signed a strategic partnership with EYP Mission Critical Facilities, part of Ramboll Group A/S (“EYP MCF”), to advance the engineering and design for its flagship AI data center and power development project spanning the planned 438 acre site in Ector County near Odessa, Texas.

This partnership leverages EYP MCF's world-class expertise in mission-critical infrastructure to deliver full-site engineering and design, positioning the Permian Basin as an emerging hub for sustainable, high-performance AI infrastructure. The scope encompasses comprehensive site engineering, facility design, powered shell structures, and advanced electrical systems connecting to both on-site power islands, initially 400 MW of natural gas generation with potential expansion to 1 GW and the regional grid.

TCDC is integrating next-generation, high-density compute designs while targeting industry-leading efficiency metrics, including the lowest achievable Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), to optimize sustainability and performance for AI workloads. This vertically integrated model comprised of both powered land and shells, will support the development of a scalable, energy-resilient AI hub that offers hyperscale tenants flexible lease options and the ability to accelerate deployment timelines.

Will Gray, CEO of New Era Energy & Digital, Inc., said: “This partnership with EYP MCF is a key milestone in accelerating our flagship AI data center project in West Texas, combining world-class engineering with our integrated energy assets to power the future of AI computing. By incorporating advanced high-density compute designs and pursuing the lowest achievable PUE in a cost-effective manner, we are committed to creating net-zero energy solutions that drive economic growth in the Permian Basin while meeting the demands of global enterprises.”

Kevin Sanders, Division Officer, Data Center Consulting & Strategy, EYP Mission Critical Facilities, part of Ramboll Group A/S, said: “We are thrilled to partner with TCDC on this groundbreaking initiative, applying our extensive knowledge to engineer a resilient and efficient AI ecosystem. Our focus on sustainable design will help realize TCDC's vision for a 1 GW-scale campus that leverages local natural gas resources for reliable, low-carbon power.”
