Project Details

If built, this is a win-win-win for residents with the project contributing to the development of new water and power supply - improving reliability for all, along with increasing local employment opportunities.

“Bring your own power generation” for large load projects, like data centers, would enable NRG Tolar Power to be a net exporter to the grid in times of need - ensuring stability, reliability, and price certainty for all customers.

This would not be power generation for bitcoin mining. The “bring your own power generation” would enable advanced computing for data centers that support our digital way of life.
