FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Edgecombe County, North Carolina — November 6, 2025 — Clean Holding Company (“CHC”), a U.S.-based clean and hybrid energy infrastructure developer, today announced it has been selected to design, build, and operate dedicated power generation and grid-support systems for a planned hyperscale data center campus in Fayetteville, North Carolina, referred to as the “twin project” to the developer’s Edgecombe County development program.

The Fayetteville campus is expected to mirror the scale and phased structure of the company’s eastern North Carolina deployments, forming part of a broader multi-campus hyperscale data infrastructure corridor across the state. According to project planning disclosures, the Fayetteville site is anticipated to follow a multi-phase buildout model spanning 3–5 years, with eventual capacity reaching several hundred megawatts of IT load.

Project Scope and Development Overview

Under the agreement, Clean Holding Company will deliver a fully integrated energy solution designed to support phased data center expansion, including:

• On-site natural gas generation assets deployed in modular 50–100 MW blocks 
• Utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) for peak load balancing and redundancy 
• Substation construction and high-voltage interconnection infrastructure 
• Load-following generation to align with incremental data center commissioning phases 
• Optional renewable and low-carbon co-generation pathways subject to permitting and grid constraints 

The Fayetteville deployment is expected to be structured in alignment with the developer’s phased campus design, incorporating multiple large-scale buildings and modular expansion tranches over time.

Energy Capacity and Phasing Strategy

Initial CHC infrastructure deployment is expected to deliver:

• Phase I: 75–150 MW of dispatchable generation capacity, aligned with early-stage data center operations 
• Phase II–III: Expansion to 300–500+ MW total site capacity, depending on tenant demand and interconnection approvals 
• Full campus buildout energy      integration scalable to match hyperscale compute expansion over a 24–60 month horizon 
• 
  

The company’s design prioritizes modular energy deployment, allowing generation assets to be synchronized with incremental data center capacity additions rather than requiring full upfront buildout.

Capital Investment and Project Economics

Clean Holding Company estimates total energy infrastructure investment for the Fayetteville campus will range between:

• $900 million to $2.2 billion total capital expenditure, depending on final generation mix, redundancy requirements, and interconnection scope 
• Multi-phase EPC contracting aligned with data center construction milestones 
• Significant grid infrastructure coordination with regional utilities and transmission operators in      Cumberland County and surrounding service territories 

The company expects to finalize financing structures through a combination of project finance debt, infrastructure equity partnerships, and long-term energy service agreements tied to data center occupancy.

Strategic Energy Infrastructure Role

The Fayetteville project represents a continuation of CHC’s strategy to co-develop energy systems alongside large-scale digital infrastructure assets.

“This Fayetteville engagement reflects the growing need for energy systems that are purpose-built for hyperscale compute environments,” said  said Sean O’Brien, CHC’s Chief Business Officer.  “Rather than treating power as a utility input, we are designing it as an integrated component of digital infrastructure architecture.”

The company expects the Fayetteville campus to serve as a long-term anchor asset for expanded energy infrastructure development across the southeastern United States, with potential replication across additional hyperscale corridors.

Deployment Timeline and Execution Plan

• 2026–2027: Final engineering design, permitting, and interconnection studies 
• 2027–2029: Phase I–II energy infrastructure construction and commissioning 
• 2029–2031: Full site capacity scaling and long-term operations optimization 

Initial construction activities are expected to proceed in parallel with early-stage data center site development, subject to final regulatory approvals and utility coordination.
