Zenith Volts Corp. (ZVC), a leader in innovative energy infrastructure, announces that the Chaves County Commission has granted county approval for a state-of-the-art 300-acre data center project located 20 miles south of Roswell, New Mexico. Designed to support 1.25 gigawatts (GW) or more of power capacity with expandable land resources, this facility will deliver cutting-edge, reliable infrastructure for AI, cloud computing, and high-performance workloads, with a target to be fully operational by November 2027.
The approved 8,500-acre site will integrate advanced power solutions, including on-site solar, natural gas generators for dependable backup, modular solar-thermal hybrid systems for 24/7 thermal storage, a 250-acre battery energy storage system, and geothermal cooling for optimal efficiency. The project’s expandable design ensures scalability to meet the growing demands of technology innovators, addressing national power shortages with off-grid, government-aligned energy solutions.
