Texas Pacific Land Corporation (TPL) today announced a strategic agreement with Bolt Data & Energy, Inc. to develop and enable large-scale data center campuses and supporting infrastructure across TPL land.
Bolt is a data and energy infrastructure company co-founded by Eric Schmidt, former CEO and Chairman of Google, who also serves as Bolt’s Chairman.
"Our goal is to create the largest and most efficient data center company in the world by combining abundant energy production, efficient and scalable data infrastructure, and the largest land expansion runway in North America," said Schmidt.
As part of the agreement, Bolt raised $150 million of capital with $50 million invested by TPL. TPL will receive an equity interest, warrants, and a right of first refusal to supply water to Bolt-affiliated projects and related infrastructure. Bolt is currently pursuing commercial partnerships and anchor customers to develop large-scale data centers on TPL land.
Schmidt added: "Bolt is focused on shortening the time between demand and delivery of compute at scale. To be a reliable provider, Bolt will also focus on power production: natural gas-fueled, renewable, and ultimately, nuclear."
