Soluna Adds 3.3 MW for Blockware at Briscoe Wind Farm

Soluna Holdings added 3.3 MW of capacity for Blockware at Project Dorothy 1B, a wind-powered data center at the Briscoe Wind Farm in West Texas. The agreement was signed Tuesday and deployment began in March 2026. The addition brings Blockware’s deployed capacity across Soluna sites to more than 17 MW and makes Blockware the first customer at Dorothy 1B.

Dorothy 1B is a 25 MW facility co-located with the Briscoe Wind Farm. Soluna acquired the wind farm in a $53 million deal that gives the company control over energy production at the Project Dorothy campus. Power from the turbines feeds the data center behind the meter, sending generation directly into computing operations rather than through the regional grid.

Soluna has described the Briscoe campus as a multi-site operation tied to the same renewable source and said it will develop Project Dorothy 3 at the site, with further details to follow. The 3.3 MW expansion follows a February 2026 deal that added 6 MW for Blockware at Dorothy 1A; each expansion has been additive to earlier agreements.

John Belizaire, Soluna’s chief executive, said: “We’re excited to expand our partnership with Blockware for the fourth time and bring them to a new site. As we scale, we remain focused on delivering reliable, renewable-powered infrastructure for AI and bitcoin mining.” Mason Jappa, Blockware’s CEO, noted the company’s growth has tracked with Soluna’s ability to bring new sites online and that the partnership has deepened as Soluna expands its footprint.

Soluna (Nasdaq: SLNH) develops data centers that use surplus renewable energy for computing-heavy workloads such as bitcoin mining and AI computing. Blockware provides bitcoin mining infrastructure and hosted capacity for operators that need power and support at scale.

Shares of SLNH rose about 3.2% near 10:24 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday. The stock had climbed more than 29% over the prior five trading sessions and traded near $1.43 per share, roughly double its level from 30 days earlier.

The expansion is part of a broader pattern of bitcoin miners and other energy-intensive operators seeking direct, low-cost renewable energy arrangements at wind and solar sites. Behind-the-meter setups at generation sites are being used to route power directly into computing operations to lower costs and improve operational stability.
