300 megawatts of behind-the-meter generation is the foundation. Above it, we intend to build a working R&D campus, and we are seeking partnerships with Arizona's leading engineering universities to test, scale, and commercialize the next generation of energy and compute technology.
The economic value of a megawatt is no longer just the electron. It is the heat, the catalyst, the hydrogen split, the computing cycle, the captured emission, the local job, and the scholarship that follows.
The campus is a deliberate part of the project, not an afterthought. We are designing every research thread to connect to a real load on the site, a partner in the Pinal corridor, and a student standing in front of it.
Each thread is anchored by a real offtake or a real partner, and each one runs on power that the site already produces.
Daytime surplus from the solar field feeds on-site electrolysis, with downstream paths into agricultural ammonia, mobility hydrogen, and industrial offtake across the Pinal corridor. Hydrogen as a battery, ammonia as a market.
Pyrolysis partnerships that turn end-of-life tires into low-sulfur diesel, carbon black, and recovered steel. A waste stream the region already has, turned into a fuel the region already burns. Industrial circularity, on the same parcel.
A long-horizon research bet: capturing usable potential from atmospheric static, dust, and convective gradients native to the Sonoran environment. Arizona desert as a laboratory for the next 30 years of generation science.
Co-located mining today, AI training and inference tomorrow. The on-site compute stack is a live testbed for hydro-cooled hardware lifecycle, workload rotation, and the operational economics of behind-the-meter AI infrastructure.
We have not signed any university agreements yet. Our intention is to invite engineering students from Arizona State University, the University of Arizona, and similar institutions to a paid internship and capstone pipeline on a working 300 MW site. If you lead a relevant program, we would welcome the conversation.
Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. We would like to build a paid internship and senior capstone pipeline across solar, power systems, and chemical engineering tracks.
College of Engineering and the Optical Sciences program. We envision field research access to a working 300 MW site, with scholarship support for Pinal and Maricopa County students.
We want this campus to pay forward into its community, support local, and serve as a national hub for innovation and exploration in energy. We are actively seeking inquiries from universities, community colleges, K-12 districts, municipalities, tribal governments, agencies, and research organizations that want to teach, research, or build alongside us. No agreement is in place today, and that is exactly why we are reaching out.
Start a conversationBrightEloy will sit inside a real community. As we develop the project, we intend to build it around five practices that make it legible, fair, and durable for the place it lives in. These are commitments we are designing toward, and we welcome local input in shaping them.
A graduated hiring preference structure. Local construction trades, operations roles, and apprentice positions filled inside the community before they are filled outside it.
We intend to establish named scholarships, in partnership with universities we engage, for students from Eloy, Casa Grande, and the surrounding Pinal County districts. The campus that runs on local sun should also help fund the next generation of local engineers.
Site-level operational data published quarterly. No black box on the desert floor. The community sees what the project produces, what it consumes, and how it performs against its commitments.
The mining and compute infrastructure runs on a closed-loop hydro cooling system. Arizona water is too valuable to evaporate.
We plan to channel a defined percentage of operating profit into a community fund for Eloy, which we intend to govern jointly with local representatives. Infrastructure that pays rent to the place it sits on.
Generation, research, and community in one place. If you would like to learn more about partnerships, internships, or the LP opportunity, reach out.
