ENGIE teams up with Cipher Mining to power Texas data center
HOUSTON, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ENGIE North America (ENGIE) announced it has entered into a preliminary agreement with Cipher Mining Inc. (NASDAQ:CIFR) ("Cipher") to enter into a power supply agreement to power a Cipher data center in Texas. Once executed, the agreement would allow Cipher to purchase up to 300 megawatts (MW) of clean energy from one of ENGIE's wind facilities.
The new arrangement would leverage the wind project's renewable energy generation to power the co-located data center, helping to alleviate an already congested transmission area. This helps offset basis risk and mitigate curtailment challenges especially in regions like West Texas, where wind and solar resources are abundant but often face constraints due to transmission bottlenecks and curtailment.
By pairing the data center with renewable energy, this strategic collaboration supports the use of surplus energy during periods of excess generation, while enhancing grid stability and reliability.
"ENGIE is committed to pursuing innovative solutions that maximize the value of renewable generation and improving cost effectiveness of delivering clean energy supply to our customers," said David Carroll, Chief Renewables Officer & SVP, ENGIE North America. "We are focused on meeting the growing need for power by our customers as they expand their operations in the U.S. and renewables is an essential part of supplying this increasing demand."
This agreement continues to reflect ENGIE's position as one of the leading providers of power purchase agreements globally.

Better Fintech Stock: SoFi Technologies vs. Robinhood Markets
SoFi Technologies' earnings growth is accelerating as it benefits from its expanding slate of personal finance solutions. Shares of Robinhood Markets have hit a new all-time high thanks to its strong growth outlook and improved financial position. 10 stocks we like better than SoFi Technologies › Digital bank SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ: SOFI) and online brokerage Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ: HOOD) both leverage their innovative platforms to disrupt the traditional financial services sector. Their strong growth rates have translated into impressive returns: Shares of SoFi are up 95% in the past year, while Robinhood stock has climbed by a remarkable 246%. After such large gains, some investors may wonder if they can keep their rallies going. Let's consider which of these fintech leaders is a better buy for your portfolio today. SoFi Technologies has transformed from a student and personal loans specialist into a comprehensive financial services platform. Its digital-first, one-stop shop approach resonates with consumers. Today, it serves 10.9 million members, nearly twice as many as it served just two years ago. In the first quarter -- in what CEO Anthony Noto described as a "tremendous start to 2025" -- SoFi's adjusted net revenue surged 33% year over year while adjusted earnings per share (EPS) climbed 200% to $0.06. The bank's success reflects its ongoing diversification beyond lending products into more fee-based services, as its members are increasingly utilizing more of its banking accounts, credit cards, investing options, and other financial products. SoFi is now positioned for more consistently profitable growth and high-quality cash flows. Management expects the positive trends to continue: It's targeting full-year adjusted EPS of $0.27 to $0.28 -- nearly double the $0.15 result in 2024. This outlook highlights a key advantage of SoFi over Robinhood Markets, which faces greater earnings uncertainty, as its business is still tied to transaction volumes and shifting financial market conditions. Investors who are confident in SoFi's ability to execute its growth strategy and capture more market share from legacy banks have compelling reasons to buy and hold the stock for the long term. As robust as SoFi's operating and financial results have been, Robinhood's recent momentum has been even stronger. In the first quarter, net revenue increased 50% while EPS more than doubled to $0.37 from $0.17 in the prior-year period. The company that redefined retail investing with its pioneering commission-free trading model is capitalizing on its 25.8 million funded accounts, where users are trading more actively and directing more of their total assets to the platform. Much of the growth story stems from the cryptocurrency market boom. Crypto now represents 43% of the platform's total transaction volume and contributes 27% of total revenue. Still, Robinhood Markets is also diversifying its product and service offerings with professional-level trading tools, banking solutions, wealth management options, and the premium Robinhood Gold subscription, all of which are increasing the company's customer wallet share. Wall Street has cheered Robinhood's traction, sending the stock up 94% year-to-date to a high that surpassed the pandemic-era peak it set in 2021. Robinhood aims to replicate its U.S. success as it expands globally. It plans to launch service in the Asia Pacific region, and is bolstering its presence in the digital asset space through its recent acquisition of crypto exchange Bitstamp. Those international ambitions, compared to SoFi's more domestically focused operations, could support greater long-term top- and bottom-line growth, which would help justify the stock's premium valuation. Notably, both Robinhood and Sofi are trading at forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios near 50, suggesting the market's optimism about their potential is fairly equal. Investors who take the view that Robinhood is just getting started on its path toward a dominant position in the online brokerage space should consider making the stock a part of a diversified portfolio. Choosing which of these is the better fintech stock to buy now isn't easy. I'm bullish on both and predict each will deliver positive returns over the next year. If I were forced to pick just one to buy, though, I'd give the edge to SoFi Technologies, which appears to offer a compelling buy-the-dip opportunity with shares still down about 27% from their 52-week high. In my view, SoFi stands to benefit more from a resilient macroeconomic backdrop, fueling lending demand and earnings growth in the coming quarters, which would provide catalysts for the stock to rally higher. Meanwhile, Robinhood must contend with the lofty expectations baked into its stock price following its recent surge. The market's hopes for it could prove difficult to meet, potentially setting the stage for renewed stock price volatility ahead.
