NuQuest Energy II, LLC announced the strategic marketing launch of a new greenfield data center and battery storage portfolio aimed at securing long-term operating partners. This initiative builds on the company’s track record of developing 2.2 GW of solar capacity in the MISO-South region.
The portfolio includes four greenfield data center sites in Louisiana and Mississippi selected for their robust grid connectivity, ample capacity, and competitive electricity rates. In addition, two advanced battery storage sites in Texas’s Permian Basin will support grid reliability and optimize energy delivery.
“We have meticulously acquired high-quality sites for both our data centers and battery storage facilities,” said Kirk Barrell, CEO and Co-Founder of NuQuest Energy II. “Our technical team has confirmed exceptional grid connectivity and low-cost power, critical factors for the success of these types of projects.”
“At NuQuest, we’ve spent the last four years building a proven track record in power generation site development—originating over 2 gigawatts of solar, battery, and gas projects. Now, we’re applying that same expertise to the data center space. With deep roots in the MISO South region and strong relationships with landowners, we’ve secured four prime sites in Louisiana and Mississippi that are ready to support data center projects of all scales. These sites offer developers a rapid entry and foothold into one of the most strategic and underserved regions in the U.S.,” added Alex Guitart, COO and Co-Founder of NuQuest Energy II.
A key differentiator is NuQuest Energy II’s proprietary TerraVolt™ technology platform, which integrates electrical grid analysis, GIS mapping, advanced analytics, and a comprehensive proprietary dataset. TerraVolt™ streamlines site selection, reduces development risk, and delivers a competitive advantage in the market.
NuQuest Energy II is a forward-looking energy developer focused on utility-scale solar, data center, gas generation, and energy storage projects across the United States. Leveraging partners’ oil and gas industry expertise and proprietary systems like TerraVolt™, the company aims to identify and develop de-risked energy sites, maximizing the likelihood of project success.
The press release includes a cautionary statement concerning forward-looking projections related to project timelines, capacities, and economic potential. Factors that could affect outcomes include equipment performance, market pricing, permitting challenges, and other operational risks. NuQuest Energy II does not intend to update these statements more frequently than quarterly unless required by law.
