SHARON AI, Inc. (“SHARON AI”), a leader in High-Performance Computing (HPC) focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI), recently provided a detailed update on the progress of its flagship AI Data Center Campus in Ector County, Texas. The announcement comes alongside the company’s entry into a Business Combination Agreement with Roth CH Acquisition Co. (OTC Markets: USCTF).

Expanding State-of-the-Art Facilities

After securing an initial 235 acres outside Odessa, TX, SHARON AI confirmed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire an additional contiguous 203 acres. This expansion brings the total land available for development through Texas Critical Data Centers (“TCDC”), a 50/50 joint venture with New Era Energy & Digital, Inc., to 438 acres. The combined site has successfully passed initial environmental and feasibility assessments, affirming its suitability for modern AI-focused data centers.

By integrating powered land, pre-built shells, and a secured energy supply, TCDC’s vertically integrated approach promises faster deployment timelines than traditional providers. To accelerate progress, phase two engineering has already commenced.

Building Towards 1GW of Power Capacity

TCDC aims to scale the campus to 1 Gigawatt (GW) of power, establishing it as one of North America’s premier AI-optimized data center sites. To achieve this ambitious target, TCDC has entered a non-binding agreement with Thunderhead Energy Solutions LLC (“Thunderhead”) to finance, construct, and operate approximately 250MW of behind-the-meter gas-fired power generation. Thunderhead plans to deploy reciprocating engines and turbines at the site over the next 18 months, subject to end-customer offtake.

Additionally, TCDC has signed a non-binding letter of intent with Mawgan Capital (“Mawgan”) to implement its proprietary Digital Zero Power (DZP) solution. Powered by Context Labs’ Context AI Enterprise Carbon Management Platform, the DZP system leverages low carbon intensity gas certificates and carbon credits to provide sustainable, reliable energy while reducing the campus’s carbon footprint.

Dan Harple, Founder & CEO of Context Labs, remarked: “It is critical that developers lead the charge in managing the climate impact of growing AI infrastructure. Context Labs delivers the AI-enabled data-driven, empirical rigor required to accurately and transparently quantify an enterprise’s carbon performance. This collaboration with TCDC and Mawgan Capital demonstrates how operators, market-makers, and technology providers can effectively accelerate decarbonization in an increasingly energy-intensive world.”

Enhancing Connectivity and Compliance

To strengthen the site’s digital capabilities, TCDC signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with GlobeLink Holdings (“GlobeLink”) to purchase rights for dark fiber and associated maintenance services. GlobeLink will develop a 1,600-mile fiber optic network across Texas, ensuring low-latency, high-speed connectivity specifically designed for AI workloads.

Wolf Schubert, CEO of SHARON AI, stated: “We are pleased to announce these milestones, demonstrating progress in our strategy to build one of the premier AI data center campuses in the United States. By collaborating on a fully outsourced power solution with Thunderhead, low-latency fiber connectivity with GlobeLink, and sustainable decarbonization initiatives with Mawgan, we are positioning TCDC to meet the growing demand for sustainable, high-performance compute. Together, these efforts strengthen our ability to create and deliver a first-class offering for data center customers.”

With these developments, SHARON AI and TCDC are strategically positioned to provide cutting-edge, sustainable, and highly reliable AI infrastructure, reinforcing Texas as a key hub for advanced data center operations.
