Equinor Buys 87.71 percent interest in Lackawanna Energy Center for $940M. Norwegian energy company Equinor has agreed to acquire 87.71 percent of the Class A shares in Lackawanna Energy Center, a 1,483 MW gas-fired combined-cycle power plant in Pennsylvania, from funds managed by Global Infrastructure Partners, part of BlackRock. Equinor (NYSE: EQNR) will pay $940 million, subject to a potential purchase-price reduction at closing. The acquisition expands Equinor's exposure to PJM, the largest wholesale electricity market in the U.S., and complements its existing natural gas position in the Appalachian Basin. Lackawanna was developed by Invenergy, a privately held developer, owner and operator of power infrastructure. The plant is among the largest and most efficient gas-fired facilities serving PJM, which supplies electricity to nearly 70 million consumers across 13 states. The facility benefits from access to natural gas supplies and is located near Equinor's Appalachian Basin gas position, which produces more than 1.7 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day for the northeastern U.S. Invenergy AMPCI Thermal Power LLC will continue to manage and operate the facility.

Texas wins again: long-term investors pour billions under Abbott's data center standards with skilled trades commitments. Meta to build a $10 billion-plus, one-gigawatt data center campus in El Paso by is licensed under Governor Abbott's data center guidelines require operators to detail their power plans, protect Texas water resources, and shield surrounding communities. Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas - Score another one for the Texas model of doing things. Just days after Meta and BlackRock finalized a landmark venture to build a $10 billion-plus, one-gigawatt data center campus in El Paso, Governor Abbott announced that Meta, along with several other major companies, will comply with his recently announced data center standards, proving once again that when leaders set clear rules and get government out of the way, private capital shows up ready to build, hire, and foot its own bills. Governor Abbott's data center guidelines require operators to detail their power plans, protect Texas water resources, and shield surrounding communities. The Governor said his framework establishes clear guardrails so data centers "conserve our water, respect our neighborhoods, and pay their own way," to ensure costs are never passed on to Texas families. Since the Governor issued his directives, data center developers across the state, including Amazon, Google, OpenAI, and Microsoft, have announced plans to comply. Texas is concurrently attracting the AI buildout while writing the playbook for other states on how to do so responsibly. President Trump's Ratepayer Protection Pledge The Texas approach mirrors leadership at the top. Meta was one of seven leading technology companies to initially sign President Donald J. Trump's Ratepayer Protection Pledge at the White House in March. Under the Pledge, companies commit to build, bring, or buy the new power generation their data centers require and to cover the full cost of grid infrastructure upgrades. President Trump has said the arrangement means prices for American communities "will not go up, but in many cases, will actually come down." Last month, the White House announced the Pledge had expanded to more than 200 additional utilities, developers, and states, covering 80 percent of all power delivered to American homes and businesses. A Blue-Collar Boom in the Borderland The El Paso campus is Meta's third data center in Texas but is already one of the state's largest construction projects, employing more than 2,300 workers onsite with over 4,000 skilled trade workers expected at peak. Once operational, the facility will support more than 300 permanent jobs. Eddie Trevizo, the business manager of IBEW Local 960, which represents El Paso Electric workers, wrote that "the impact on the union workforce has been tremendous," with some IBEW locals doubling in size and a construction phase long enough for its workers to finish entire apprenticeships. The skilled trades pipeline is also expanding. BlackRock's Global Infrastructure Partners and the AI Infrastructure Partnership signed a memorandum of understanding this week with North America's Building Trades Unions (NABTU) to connect a pipeline of more than 3 million skilled tradespeople, including electricians, pipefitters, and ironworkers, to AI infrastructure projects. This builds on BlackRock's Future Builders initiative, which is investing nearly $30 million to train more than 12,000 Texas electricians over three years. That's what the AI revolution looks like on the ground: welding rigs, hard hats, and family-sustaining paychecks for Texas workers. Paying Their Own Way on Power and Water Meta worked with El Paso Electric to plan its energy needs and pay the full cost of the power and infrastructure the campus requires, so El Paso consumers aren't left holding the bag. The company is supporting more than 5,000 megawatts of new clean and reliable energy projects in Texas. On water, Meta has pledged to restore 200 percent of the water its El Paso data center consumes back to local watersheds, and it pays the full cost of its water and wastewater service. The company is also funding El Paso Water's AguaCares program to help support families in need with their water bills. Clear standards. Private investment. Ratepayers protected. Workers hired. That's the Texas Model. With Governor Abbott's guardrails and President Trump's pledge in place, El Paso is a strong example for the rest of America of how Texas makes sure the AI era gets built right. * Share * Post * Pin * Share * Share * Print * Share Meta to build a $10 billion-plus, one-gigawatt data center campus in El Paso by is licensed under 08.19.2026
Equinor strengthens position in US power market. WEBWIRE - Monday, August 17, 2026 Equinor has agreed to acquire an interest in the Lackawanna Energy Center (Lackawanna), a 1,483 MW gas-fired combined cycle power plant (CCGT) in Pennsylvania. The transaction represents a step forward in building an integrated power business in selected markets. Lackawanna was developed by Invenergy, North America's largest privately held developer, owner and operator of power infrastructure. Under the definitive agreement, Equinor will acquire 87.71% of the Class A shares in Lackawanna for USD 940 million subject to a potential purchase price reduction at closing of the transaction. The remainder of the Class A shares and 100% of the Class B shares are owned by Invenergy AMPCI Thermal Power LLC. Invenergy will continue managing and operating Lackawanna, while Equinor and Invenergy will together explore additional collaboration opportunities that leverage Invenergy's long-standing operating capabilities and position in the existing PJM power market. "Electricity demand in PJM is growing rapidly, driven by electrification, data centres and industrial activity. This acquisition gives Equinor further access to the largest power market in the US and is located close to our significant Appalachian gas position. It also provides early cash flow and long-term value potential. We look forward to working with Invenergy as an experienced operator and exploring further collaboration," says Helge Haugane, executive vice president for Power. The investment structure provides upfront preferred cash flow and visibility on long-term cash generation, supported by investor protection mechanisms. Under the agreement, Equinor will acquire an interest in Lackawanna from funds managed by Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), a part of BlackRock. Lackawanna is among the largest and most efficient gas-fired power plants in the PJM power market, the largest wholesale electricity market in the US. PJM serves nearly 70 million consumers across 13 states and is expected to see continued demand growth. The facility is well positioned through reliable access to abundant, competitively priced natural gas. It is also located near Equinor's significant gas position in the Appalachian Basin, one of the company's largest gas assets globally. The non-operated Appalachian Basin asset delivers more than 1.7 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day into the northeastern US. The transaction builds on Equinor's long-standing presence in the United States, the company's largest source of energy production outside Norway. It is in line with Equinor's approach to develop power positions in selected markets where the company can combine industrial capabilities, market access and existing energy positions. Closing of the transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals.

FCC bans Chinese robots and inverters, strengthening US AI security measures. July 29, 2026 By QwenAI.fans 1 views The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announces a ban on the import of new Chinese humanoid and quadruped robots, as well as connected power inverters. The decision aims to insulate the U.S. AI supply chain from potential disruptions, data theft, and cyberattacks. Regulatory action to protect AI infrastructure. The FCC's new rules prohibit the import of specific types of Chinese-made robots and grid inverters. These devices, which are used in various applications including renewable energy integration and data center operations, have been identified as potential vectors for security breaches. \"This action is a critical step in safeguarding our nation's AI infrastructure,\" says an FCC spokesperson. \"By blocking these imports, we are reducing the risk of foreign interference and ensuring the integrity of our technology ecosystem.\"\ Cryptographic breakthroughs by Anthropic. In related news, Anthropic, a leading AI research company, reports that its unreleased Claude Mythos Preview model has discovered two new cryptographic attacks. The model, running for approximately 60 hours, exploited a nontrivial lattice automorphism in HAWK, a NIST post-quantum signature candidate, significantly reducing small-key security from 2^6. Meta and BlackRock collaborate on massive data center project. Meta and BlackRock, along with Global Infrastructure Partners and HPS, announce a joint venture to build a 1 GW AI data center campus in El Paso, Texas. The project, expected to be completed by 2028, will cost approximately $14 billion. BlackRock's group holds 80% ownership, with $4.9 billion in cash and $12.5 billion in debt. Meta will operate the facility. Security breach analysis by hugging Face. Hugging Face's security team publishes a detailed forensic timeline of the recent OpenAI agent breach. The analysis covers the period from July 9 to July 13, documenting roughly 17,600 attacker actions clustered into about 6,280 operations. The breach involved a two-stage attack chain, using an HDF5 external-file-read primitive and a Jinja2 SSTI via an f-string. MCP specification update. The Agentic AI Foundation, a Linux Foundation directed fund, releases a major update to the MCP specification. The 2026-07-28 MCP specification moves the protocol to a stateless request/response core, eliminating the initialize/initialized handshake and the Mcp-Session-Id header. This change allows any server instance to handle requests, enhancing flexibility and scalability. Industry impact and future outlook. The FCC's ban and other recent developments underscore the growing importance of cybersecurity in the AI industry. As AI technologies become more integrated into critical infrastructure, regulatory and technological measures will continue to evolve to address emerging threats.

BlackRock's GIP and ACS name data center joint venture Coravel, sign customer in Texas. Former DXC president Howard Boville to lead company July 16, 2026 A new data center developer has been launched by BlackRock and construction firm ACS. Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) this week announced the launch of Coravel, a new data center platform targeting hyperscalers. The newly launched company claims a 1.7GW development portfolio (1.2GW IT load) across the US, Europe, and Australia, with 150MW currently under construction. Coravel also announced its first major hyperscaler customer agreement at its Dallas-Fort Worth campus, covering ~140MW of critical IT load with ~100MW of future expansion capacity. ACS subsidiary Turner Construction will lead delivery of the campus. Delivery timelines have not been shared. Howard Boville has been appointed CEO of Coravel. He was previously president of DXC and has held roles at IBM, Bank of America, BT, and Comcast. "We created Coravel to enable hyperscalers and leading technology companies to deliver digital infrastructure with greater speed, certainty and accountability," Boville said on LinkedIn. "By bringing together power strategy, site origination, design, construction, capital, and operations through one accountable partner, we simplify what's become one of the world's most complex infrastructure challenges." The new unit is backed by GIP and ACS Group. The two formed a €2 billion ($2.33bn) 50:50 joint venture to build and manage data centers last year, seeded with ACS' data center pipeline. "The launch of Coravel represents an important milestone in ACS Group's strategy to build a leading global digital infrastructure platform," said Juan Santamaría, chief executive officer of ACS Group. "By combining our proven development, engineering, and construction expertise with GIP's long-term investment strength, we've created a business uniquely positioned to help customers meet one of the world's fastest-growing infrastructure needs." ACS is best known in the US as the owner of Turner Construction. The company owns or has stakes in Hochtief, CIMIC, Leighton Asia, Ventia, and numerous others. Data center clients include Meta and Vantage. Traditionally known as a construction firm serving clients' own builds, ACS had recently pivoted to developing its own data centers that can be leased or sold to customers. Full details of Coravel's pipeline haven't been shared, but at the time of the formation of the joint venture, ACS had developments in the works in Aragon, Spain, and Fort Worth, Texas. Previous company presentations suggested the firm had 1.1GW of potential data center capacity (278MW in Spain, 220MW in Australia, 300MW in the US, and 300MW in Chile). Founded in 2006, GIP manages more than $100bn in client assets across infrastructure equity and debt, with a focus on energy, transport, water and waste, and digital sectors. BlackRock acquired GIP in 2024. GIP's other digital investments include data center firm CyrusOne and Vodafone tower company Vantage Towers (both in partnership with KKR). The firm has also previously provided loans to data center firm Vantage (unaffiliated with the tower company). GIP owner BlackRock has numerous other data center investments, including Germany's Mainova Webhouse, Gravity Edge in the UK, a stake in Edge firm Armada, and a stake in AI Infrastructure Partnership (which in turn owns Aligned).
