Exhibit 99.1

 

Soluna Signs Term Sheet with Renewable Energy Leader for New Data Center Project

 

Project Rosa Boosts Soluna’s Capacity with 187 MW of Sustainable Energy for AI and Bitcoin Mining

 

Albany, NY - September 16, 2024 – Soluna Holdings, Inc. (“SHI” or the “Company”), (NASDAQ: SLNH), a developer of green data centers for intensive computing applications including Bitcoin mining and AI, announced today that it has signed term sheets for power and land for Project Rosa, a new 187 MW Data Center indicating an important step forward in the Company’s expansion efforts.

 

Project Rosa will be strategically co-located with a 240 MW wind farm in Texas, enabling the project to directly harness a substantial share of renewable energy. Soluna has secured 60 acres of land for this project’s development, an important milestone in its journey to shovel readiness.

 

The project will be executed in two phases. Upon completion, Project Rosa is poised to provide up to 187 MW of data center capacity for AI, machine learning, Bitcoin hosting, and other computing-intensive applications, as well as joint venture potential.

 

This project aligns with Soluna’s ongoing mission to utilize excess renewable energy and create sustainable, scalable, low-cost data centers for next-generation workloads.

 

“We are excited to launch Project Rosa and continue our momentum in developing the future with Renewable Computing,” said John Belizaire, CEO of Soluna Holdings. “This project represents a significant increase in our shovel-ready momentum as we grow our HPC and Bitcoin data center business.”

 

With Project Rosa, Soluna continues its tradition of naming its data centers after women who have made significant contributions to science and technology. The project is named after Rosalind Franklin, a chemist whose work was central to understanding the molecular structures of DNA, RNA, and viruses.

 

 

As Soluna progresses with Project Rosa, it will be focused on: completing definitive power purchase agreements, land agreements, and the ERCOT planning phase.
