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.

Attempt to privately prosecute Louth TD referred to DPP
David Carroll, Dun Saithne Green, Balbriggan, last year stood as an Independent in the same Louth constituency as Deputy Ó Murchú and received 40 first preference votes. In March he summonsed Mr Ó Murchú to Dundalk District Court alleging that on February 12 last, "at Dundalk area wide, Co. Louth, Ireland, stolen property and services value of €7,000.' It was listed as 'David Carroll vs Ruairí O'Murchu'. No details were given of the alleged nature of Mr Carroll's complaint. When the case was first called he attempted to present an invoice to the court. He said it appeared to be a criminal summons issued by David Carroll and argued that there was no legislation allowing private citizens to issue criminal summonses against other private citizens. It was not a civil summons. Mr Hughes continued that there was no procedure in law for this. The prosecutor has to be An Garda Síochána or the DPP. Judge Nicola Andrews, who had signed the summons, said that Mr Hughes could make submissions on May 7. On the adjourned date the solicitor said it was his application to set aside the summons. ADVERTISEMENT He directed the court to the document and submitted that the allegation was 'very vague'. The solicitor continued that he assumed it was one of theft and, if so, was a case for the DPP. Judge Andrews said the matter could be listed for hearing with a 'not guilty' plea entered. Mr Carroll must discharge the relevant burden of proof. It would be up to him to prove his case. Mr Hughes said that could be one way to go about it. However, it was his submission that the DPP had to be involved, otherwise this 'can't ever go anywhere'. Addressing Mr Carroll, the judge said, 'I don't know what you're going to prosecute here'. He replied that he was bringing it under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice (Theft & Fraud Offences) Act. Mr Hughes said that was 'helpful'. The DPP had to be involved. Judge Andrews adjourned the matter to July 9 for DPP directions. If there was a direction for summary disposal of the case the court would give a hearing date, she said, adding that Mr Hughes should be in a position to have his client present.
