The parties will assess Energy Dome’s CO2 Battery Plus technology at NUAI’s Texas site as a solution to support time-to-power, enhance operational flexibility and reduce emissions for AI and data center workloads
Energy Dome, a leading provider of innovative capacity solutions for AI infrastructure, and New Era Energy & Digital, Inc. (NUAI), a developer and operator of next-generation digital infrastructure and integrated power assets, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to deploy Energy Dome’s CO2 Battery Plus technology at NUAI’s Texas Critical Data Centers (TCDC) site, located in Odessa.
The MOU establishes a framework for the parties to assess how Energy Dome’s proprietary technology, based on its patented CO2 Battery system, will support NUAI’s planned deployment of large-scale power capacity to meet the energy demand of its AI-optimized 1GW+ data center. Key priorities include maximizing speed to power, reducing reliance on constrained grid interconnection timelines, ensuring the high levels of availability required for mission-critical data center operations, and supporting lower-emissions power generation.
Claudio Spadacini, Founder and CEO of Energy Dome, said:
“AI is redefining energy systems and accelerating the need for reliable, always-available power for data centers and the grid. This collaboration further confirms Energy Dome’s unique positioning as a leading technology platform for the deployment of firm capacity and true 24/7 clean energy solutions, purpose-built for next-generation AI infrastructure. We look forward to working with our customer NUAI to support their ambitions to deploy cutting-edge, rapidly deployable data centers and turn this vision into a shared success.”
Charlie Nelson, President and Chief Operating Officer, said:
“We are excited to be working with Energy Dome on deployments at our assets. As we continue to scale our behind-the-meter power infrastructure at TCDC, Energy Dome’s CO2 Battery Plus technology addresses three key areas: lowering delivered energy costs, helping manage the inherent variability between data center load profiles and our on-site generation fleet, and reducing the carbon intensity of our power generation. The ability to capture waste heat and flexibly dispatch stored energy provides additional operational flexibility for AI workloads. We look forward to expanding our deployment of this technology across our portfolio and note Energy Dome’s recent announcements with leading hyperscalers as a testament to the progress of their platform.”
