  Google to buy energy from solar-storage project at former coal mine

  Google has announced that it will purchase the energy, capacity and clean energy attributes from MN8 Energy’s Mammoth Solar project in West Virginia, with Eos Energy Enterprises supplying zinc-based long-duration storage.

  • The project includes 86 MW of utility-scale solar, 10 MW/100 MWh of zinc-based storage, and 70 MW/280 MWh of lithium-ion storage; solar is expected online in 2028, with storage in 2029 and 2030.
  • The release says the project is designed to match clean energy capacity with Google’s regional data center load profiles and add capacity in the PJM region; it also references a separate Google-backed 300 MW/30 GWh iron-air battery project in Minnesota.

  LFP cathode active material startup Nano One brings a strategy to meet demand from supply chains outside China

  Nano One has announced and reaffirmed its licensing-led strategy to expand its One-Pot LFP cathode technology through regional development companies (DevCos).

  • The company plans to license One-Pot technology into regional markets via joint-venture-style DevCos that will develop, finance, build, and potentially operate LFP cathode plants using a capital-light model.
  • Nano One says it will provide technology, engineering, services, licensing fees, and royalties, while partners contribute construction capital and offtake; it also reported that Candiac detailed engineering was 85% complete and targeted ~800 tpa commissioning in H1 2027.
  • The article also cites market and policy context, including LFP demand outside China, the NDAA/PFE restrictions starting in 2028, the US 45X credit at US$35/kWh, and Samsung SDI’s separate KRW1.6 trillion (US$1.15 billion) supply agreement with L&F over three years starting 2027.

  The Next Data Center Constraint: Trust

  The Data Center Frontier Show released a podcast episode on community trust as a rising constraint on data center growth, featuring Buddy Rizer and Adam Waitkunas discussing opposition, community engagement, and political durability. - The episode aired on August 11, 2026 and focuses on how community acceptance may now constrain development more than power, land, or water.

  • Rizer said Loudoun County has more than 250 data centers, uses less than 10% of its water system, and has generated about $1.2 billion in tax revenue, yet distrust still dominates public debate.
  • Waitkunas argued for earlier engagement and stronger Community Benefit Agreements, including operational commitments on noise and traffic; both guests warned that moratoriums and local political backlash may increase.

  More Data Center Operators Commit to Abbott’s Texas Standards as Power Companies Endorse ERCOT Batch Framework

  Texas data center operators and power companies have responded to Gov. Greg Abbott’s directive by publicly endorsing tighter standards for grid access, water use, and transparency.

  • First coordinated corporate response: Skybox Datacenters, MARA, Digital Realty, QTS, Compass, Montera, and others said they will comply with Abbott’s standards and disclosure expectations tied to the ERCOT large-load queue review.
  • Policy and project details: Abbott’s Aug. 3 order follows a June 10 directive and could lead to legislation on cost allocation, water-efficient cooling, annual reporting, and incentive changes; ERCOT’s Batch Zero groups projects of 75 MW and greater for a single study.
  • Company examples: MARA said it curtailed about 550 MW during Winter Storm Fern; Hut 8 described 1.5 GW of Texas capacity and its 1-GW Beacon Point campus; NRG said its Texas BYOP project centers on a 1.2-GW plant and $3.2 billion investment.

  Rural Broadband Pays Off Only When Communities Decide, Panelists Say

  Broadband Breakfast hosted a panel discussion on rural economic development and broadband, with speakers debating whether broadband is now merely “table stakes” rather than a growth strategy. This appears to be a commentary/discussion transcript rather than a new corporate announcement.

  • Bartlett Cleland of the Innovation Economy Alliance cited studies showing 18% higher per capita income, 210% higher business growth, $65 billion annual national benefit from full rural digital access, and 800,000 additional jobs.
  • Amy Huffman of the National Digital Inclusion Alliance said adoption depends on affordability, skills, and devices; Jonathan Chambers of Conexon argued for local control and said electric co-op fiber networks have the highest customer satisfaction. The panel also discussed Starlink and a data center dispute, with Cleland pointing to counties in Northern Texas and northeastern Louisiana courting data center investment.
