Digi Power X Enters Strategic Partnership LOI with Pleasants
Digi Power X entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Omnis Pleasants, owner of the Pleasants Power Station, a 1.3 gigawatt power generation facility located in West Virginia, to pursue a strategic partnership supporting large-scale artificial intelligence and high-performance computing infrastructure. Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, the parties intend to conduct a comprehensive load and interconnection study of up to 1.3 GW, evaluating long-term power availability and grid connectivity for energy-intensive computing applications. The proposed strategic partnership also contemplates a long-term lease of up to 200 acres of land, that would enable Digi Power X to deploy AI and advanced computing infrastructure utilizing its proprietary ARMS modular Tier III data center platform. In addition, the LOI establishes a framework for potential equity alignment, including a mutual equity exchange between Digi Power X and Pleasants based on fair market valuation, as well as a defined pathway for Digi Power X to acquire an equity ownership stake in excess of 10% in the power plant entity, subject to definitive documentation, agreed valuation, financing structure and applicable regulatory approvals. Separately, Digi Power X and Pleasants intend to collaborate on a hydrogen-transition feasibility study for Digi Power X's New York power assets, aligning with broader decarbonization and energy-transition initiatives. The parties expect to initiate the load study within 30 days and target execution of definitive agreements within approximately 90 days, subject to customary conditions and approvals.
