Climate Policy
An overview of our business-driven balanced approach.
New Power and Data’s Climate Policy
At New Power and Data, our climate policy reflects a pragmatic, business-driven approach that balances robust energy production with environmental responsibility. This ensures sustainable progress without compromising our mission to power the future of AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and digital infrastructure. As a leader in developing the largest natural gas power plant and deploying Westinghouse AP300 Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) across Texas with integrated data centers, we are committed to delivering reliable, efficient, and scalable energy solutions that drive economic growth while incorporating innovative environmental practices.
Key Principles of Our Climate Policy:
- Efficient Energy Production as a Foundation for Progress
Our experience is in leveraging cutting-edge technology, such as GE’s highly efficient 7HA natural gas turbines and the Westinghouse AP300 SMR, which offers a near-carbon-neutral footprint due to its advanced, proven Gen III+ pressurized water reactor design. These technologies enable us to maximize energy output while minimizing emissions intensity, supporting the exponential energy demands of AI and digital businesses. - Innovative CO2 Utilization
We view CO2 not as a harmful byproduct but as a valuable resource. By piping CO2 emissions from our natural gas power plants into greenhouses, we enhance agricultural productivity, supporting local food security and creating a circular economy. This approach aligns with our belief that CO2 can be harnessed for positive impact, reducing waste and promoting sustainable land use. - Strategic Deployment of SMRs for Long-Term Sustainability
The Westinghouse AP300 SMR, with its ultra-compact footprint, modular construction, and 80-year lifecycle, is a cornerstone of our strategy to provide clean, reliable energy. By deploying SMRs across Texas, we reduce reliance on traditional fossil fuel infrastructure and support grid resilience, particularly for data centers requiring uninterrupted power. The AP300’s passive safety systems and regulatory approvals in the U.S., UK, and China ensure low environmental impact and streamlined deployment. - Business-Driven Environmental Responsibility
Our focus remains on powering innovation and economic growth, not adhering to restrictive climate mandates that hinder progress. We adopt a green-friendly approach by prioritizing efficiency, resource optimization, and practical solutions like CO2 utilization, ensuring that environmental considerations enhance—rather than impede—our operations. This includes leveraging modular construction techniques to reduce construction-related emissions and utilizing established supply chains to minimize logistical footprints. - Community and Economic Impact
By building the largest natural gas power plant and SMRs with attached data centers, we create high-value jobs, stimulate local economies, and provide critical infrastructure to support Texas’s growing technology sector. Our projects are designed to integrate with local communities, offering reliable energy that powers businesses while fostering sustainable practices like greenhouse agriculture. - Adaptable and Forward-Looking Strategy
We continuously evaluate emerging technologies and regulatory frameworks to ensure our operations remain at the forefront of efficiency and innovation. While we do not prioritize climate-driven restrictions, we are prepared to adapt to evolving standards, such as potential carbon capture advancements or enhanced SMR fuel technologies, to maintain our competitive edge and operational excellence.
