The record, newest first

  1. In its quarterly report, New Era said it was working toward an industrial district designation, site clearing and a lease with an investment-grade hyperscaler. (RedChip (New Era Energy & Digital release), May 15, 2026)

  2. New Era signed a non-binding letter of intent with Stream Data Centers to develop and operate the campus, outlining a 200 MW first phase and a path past 1 GW. (Business Wire (New Era Energy & Digital), April 1, 2026; DatacenterDynamics, undated)

  3. New Era reported in an SEC filing that it had completed the purchase of Sharon AI's 50% interest in TCDC for $70 million in total consideration. (U.S. SEC (New Era Energy & Digital, Inc.), Jan. 20, 2026)

  4. TCDC hired EYP Mission Critical Facilities to engineer the planned 438-acre campus. (Business Wire (New Era Energy & Digital), Oct. 30, 2025)

  5. New Era Helium and Sharon AI announced a letter of intent with GROW Odessa for about 200 acres in Ector County for a 250 MW AI/HPC campus with gas-fired power. (CBS7 / KOSA (firstalert7.com), Feb. 28, 2025)

Conflicts and open questions

  • Coordinates are city-level (Odessa). The April 2026 release places the campus next to Vistra and Calpine generation, but no parcel was found.
  • New Era Energy & Digital was formerly New Era Helium.
