  "account": "New Era Energy & Digital secured power rights for its Texas campus and is negotiating a lease with a major tech company. The company controls electricity access in a power-constrained market, allowing it to capture customer revenue and avoid grid connection delays. By securing power through a private network and executing a long-term Power Purchase Agreement, New Era Energy & Digital gains a fast delivery schedule for data centers, which competitors stuck in utility backlogs cannot match. Prefabricated modular construction allows workers to assemble the campus off-site while ground preparation proceeds in Texas, reducing capital expenses and protecting project returns against labor shortages. Phase 1 will be served by a PPA for up to 207 megawatts. By operating independently of a joint venture, New Era Energy & Digital maintains control over project economics and leasing terms, reassuring large clients and preserving cash flows for shareholders. Power availability is expected in mid-2027, with site clearing underway as of November 12, 2026. The campus benefits from private utility access, zero debt, and an adjacent power plant, while modular construction keeps near-term funding needs low as Phase 1 moves toward ready-for-service status in late 2027.",
  "summary": "Dropping the joint venture means the company alone carries execution risk on a campus still awaiting final lease documents.",
