Soluna Holdings is deepening its relationship with Blockware, adding 6 megawatts (MW) of capacity to Project Dorothy 1 in West Texas as the rollout moves toward completion by the end of February.
Bitcoin miner and HPC service provider Soluna strengthens Texas presence with increased capacity
Soluna Holdings Inc. announced it is expanding its partnership with Blockware by adding 6 MW to the Dorothy 1 site, a renewable energy-powered data center project in West Texas. The company said implementation will begin in January and is expected to be completed by the end of February.
This addition marks the third expansion for both companies and signals continued growth within existing business areas rather than a leap into uncharted territory. Soluna attributes this expansion to its ability to provide flexible and capital-efficient infrastructure at renewable energy-powered sites.
“These repeated expansions are a strong signal that our model is working,” said Soluna CEO John Belizea, adding that the long-term adjustments reflect the reliability and scalability of the company’s infrastructure. His message was clear. Scale is welcome, but discipline comes first.
Blockware CEO Mason Jappa emphasized operational consistency as a priority during the growth phase, saying reliable infrastructure and rapid deployment are key reasons for continuing the partnership. In industries where uptime is critical, reliability tends to win repeat business.
Project Dorothy operates as a behind-the-meter digital infrastructure designed to convert excess renewable energy into computing power. Soluna works with Bitcoin mining, AI and machine workloads, and high performance computing (HPC) solutions. By expanding within existing locations, Soluna said the company can support customer growth while maintaining disciplined capital deployment.
Dorothy is part of Soluna’s extensive pipeline of more than 1 gigawatt (GW) of renewable energy-first data centers aimed at supporting HPC workloads and taking advantage of potential energy savings. Expansion may be done in stages by 6 MW, but in energy infrastructure, increases are often intentional.
