Constellation announced that Calpine LLC, a business unit of Constellation, signed a new 380-megawatt (MW) agreement with Dallas-based CyrusOne, a leading global data center developer and operator, to connect and serve a new data center adjacent to the Freestone Energy Center, in Freestone County, Texas. The agreement provides CyrusOne with access to power, grid connectivity and site infrastructure needed to support development of the new facility, while ensuring electricity continues to flow to the regional grid and ensuring reliability for all customers and communities. Calpine has also entered into an exclusive agreement to provide power, grid connectivity and site Infrastructure for Phase 2, which will be an additional 380 MW.
These agreements are in addition to the 400 MW agreements announced in the second half of last year between Calpine and CyrusOne for the Thad Hill Energy Center in Bosque County, Texas. The project will utilize the company's Powered Land Capabilities, a suite of products and services designed to support large-load customers by pairing generation, land and grid access in a way that prioritizes reliability, speed-to-market and predictability for the broader system. Today's agreement reinforces Constellation's position as the premier power solutions provider for industrial-scale customers.
The new facility will be located adjacent to Calpine's existing Freestone Energy Center, which is located approximately 80 miles southeast of Dallas.
