RPower and Wise Asset to Provide Powered-Land Solutions for the Data Center and Heavy Industrial Markets.
RPower, a leading provider of prime and backup power solutions, and Wise Asset (WA) will provide powered-land solutions to serve the growing demand for large energy users, including data centers and heavy industrial manufacturing and processing.
RPower and WA will develop land controlled by WA to provide onsite natural gas power plant solutions that can be quickly deployed to meet the projected 60-plus gigawatts of load growth in the ERCOT market between now and 2030.
Jamie Smith, COO of RPower, said:
We are excited to team with WA to accelerate the deployment of onsite power generation solutions.
“Our solutions will not only serve the growing demand from large energy users but will also serve as a resource to utility grid infrastructure. These generation assets are well-suited to respond to the demands of managing a grid with increasing levels of intermittent generation and will further enable the energy transition to a carbon-free future.”
WA and RPower will develop turnkey locations for data centers and other large energy users. This powered-land solution will include all necessary land and power generation permitting, utility interconnections, gas interconnections, and design and engineering for a utility-scale natural gas-fired power generation facility to serve customer load. The power facility will be designed to provide either prime or back-up power as soon as 2027.
Grant Huber, Energy Director at WA, said:
Through our collaboration with RPower, we are adding natural gas power generation and retail electric offerings to our select land holdings and intend to be your ‘easy button’ for these de-risked utility-scale assets.
“RPower’s decades of power and energy experience, coupled with WA’s track record of developing land in multiple sectors for over a century is the right combination to move quickly to meet the needs of the growing data industry.”
Currently RPower and WA are working to develop over 3,000 acres in the Dallas-Fort Worth region. For more information about RPower and its innovative energy solutions visit www.RPower1.com.
