NuQuest Energy II Unveils High-Value Data Center and Battery Storage Portfolio to Strategic Partners

NuQuest Energy II, LLC, a leading utility-scale energy developer, today announced the strategic marketing launch of its high-value greenfield data center and battery storage portfolio. This initiative aims to secure long-term operating partners for a robust collection of projects, building on NuQuest Energy II's proven track record, including the successful development of 2.2 Gigawatts of solar in MISO-South.

Driving Innovation in Critical Infrastructure

NuQuest Energy II's new portfolio features four greenfield data center sites in MISO-South, strategically chosen for their access to a stable, robust power grid with ample capacity and highly competitive electricity rates. Complementing these are two advanced battery storage sites in the Permian Basin, Texas, designed to enhance 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.

Proprietary Technology for De-Risked Development

A key differentiator for NuQuest Energy II is its proprietary technology system, TerraVolt™. This advanced platform seamlessly integrates electrical grid analyses, GIS mapping, sophisticated analytics, and a comprehensive proprietary dataset. TerraVolt™ significantly enhances the site-selection process, resulting in de-risked projects and a substantial competitive advantage in the market.
