Broad Reach Power Energy Services LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Houston-based independent power producer Broad Reach Power LLC, announced today that it has entered into a services partnership with Lancium, a data center operator that is also described as, "an energy technology and infrastructure company that advances the decarbonization and stability of the electric power grid."

Under the agreement, Broad Reach, which owns a 21-gigawatt (GW) portfolio of utility-scale wind, solar and energy storage power projects, will supply retail energy and provide qualified scheduling services for a portion of Lancium’s Fort Stockton, Texas Clean Campus data center.

Broad Reach's creation of an Option 2 retail electric provider (Broad Reach Power Energy Services LLC) had been exclusively first reported by EnergyChoiceMatters.com in January (story here)

"Lancium locates its large-scale data centers in regions with excess renewable energy generation. This allows Lancium’s customers to benefit from low power prices and the highest concentration of renewable generated power on the grid. Enabled by Lancium’s proprietary Lancium Smart Response technology, the data centers operate in a flexible manner, responding to grid conditions in real time. This ability to operate flexibly has allowed facilities enabled by Lancium Smart Response to qualify as 'Controllable Load Resources' (CLR) under ERCOT protocols," the companies said

The first phase of Lancium’s Ft. Stockton Clean Campus, a 25-megawatt (MW) data center, is expected to be fully operational this summer.

The facility is expected to begin participating in ERCOT’s ancillary services market in late summer.
