Energy company Engie and Prometheus to jointly establish data centers in Texas, integrating renewable energy sources.
Engie North America and Prometheus Hyperscale Partner to Build Sustainable Data Centers in Texas
Engie North America, a leading player in the global energy transition, has announced a new agreement with Prometheus Hyperscale to co-locate data centers at renewable and battery storage energy facilities in Texas. This collaboration marks a significant step towards meeting the growing demand for power across the U.S., with a focus on enabling data center expansion.
The partnership between Engie and Prometheus Hyperscale is aimed at building data centers that meet market needs today and tomorrow. Prometheus, which was launched last year with a commitment to deliver scalable and environmentally responsible infrastructure, will deploy its liquid-cooled data centers alongside Engie's renewable and battery storage assets along the Texas I-35 corridor.
Prometheus Hyperscale's data centers utilize a proprietary liquid cooling system that reduces facility energy consumption by up to 50% and eliminates water consumption. This innovative cooling system aligns with Engie's strategy of leveraging its robust portfolio of wind, solar, and battery storage assets to deliver solutions that support scalable, resilient, and sustainable infrastructure.
The first co-located sites from this collaboration are anticipated to go live in 2026, with more locations planned from 2027 onward. Prometheus Hyperscale aims to power its data centers with 100% renewable energy through strategic partnerships, furthering its focus on developing sustainable, next-generation digital infrastructure for AI.
Engie North America is led by David Carroll, who holds the position of Chief Renewables Officer and SVP. Notably, former bp CEO Bernard Looney was appointed as Chairman of the Board of Directors at Prometheus Hyperscale in November 2024. The Supervisory Board also appointed the Chairman of the Management Board at Prometheus Hyperscale during the same month.
Prometheus Hyperscale's partnership with ENGIE is a testament to their shared commitment to the energy transition. By co-locating data centers at renewable and battery storage energy facilities, both companies are taking a significant step towards a more sustainable future. Engie is providing integrated energy solutions that support the development of scalable and environmentally responsible digital infrastructure.
In conclusion, the agreement between Engie North America and Prometheus Hyperscale marks an exciting development in the field of sustainable data center development. By leveraging their respective expertise and resources, both companies are working towards a future where data centers are powered by 100% renewable energy and have minimal environmental impact. This collaboration is a significant step towards meeting the growing demand for power across the U.S., while also contributing to the global effort to combat climate change.
