Soluna Holdings announced that its 100 MW Project Dorothy campus has been conditionally classified as "Base Load" by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) in its "Batch Zero" evaluation process. This classification secures the project's interconnection capacity and exempts it from certain further reliability evaluations, a significant milestone in Texas's congested energy grid.
Key Details
- Project: The classification applies to the 100 MW Project Dorothy data center campus in Briscoe County, Texas.
- Regulatory Milestone: The "Base Load" classification from ERCOT preserves the project's grid connection capacity amid a backlog of over 438,000 MW of large load requests.
- Total Capacity: This brings Soluna's total conditionally classified Base Load capacity in Texas to 266 MW, including the previously announced 166 MW at Project Kati.
- Expansion: Soluna has also submitted a request for an additional 50 MW of capacity at the Dorothy site, which is currently under study.
