The Fort Worth Press - Digi Power X Enters into LOI for Strategic Partnership With 1.3 GW Power Plant to Support AI Infrastructure Development

MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / January 7, 2026 / Digi Power X Inc. ("Digi Power X" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:DGXX)(TSXV:DGX), an innovative energy infrastructure company, today announced that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with Omnis Pleasants LLC ("Pleasants"), owner of the Pleasants Power Station, a 1.3 gigawatt ("GW") power generation facility located in West Virginia, to pursue a strategic partnership supporting large-scale artificial intelligence ("AI") and high-performance computing infrastructure.

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, the parties intend to conduct a comprehensive load and interconnection study of up to 1.3 GW, evaluating long-term power availability and grid connectivity for energy-intensive computing applications.

The proposed strategic partnership also contemplates a long-term lease of up to 200 acres of land, that would enable Digi Power X to deploy AI and advanced computing infrastructure utilizing its proprietary ARMS modular Tier III data center platform.

In addition, the LOI establishes a framework for potential equity alignment, including a mutual equity exchange between Digi Power X and Pleasants based on fair market valuation, as well as a defined pathway for Digi Power X to acquire an equity ownership stake in excess of 10% in the power plant entity, subject to definitive documentation, agreed valuation, financing structure and applicable regulatory approvals.

Separately, Digi Power X and Pleasants intend to collaborate on a hydrogen-transition feasibility study for Digi Power X's New York power assets, aligning with broader decarbonization and energy-transition initiatives.

"This strategic partnership will advance our strategy of pairing large-scale, grid-connected power assets with next-generation AI infrastructure," said Michel Amar, CEO of Digi Power X. "Pleasants offers the scale, land availability and electrical infrastructure required to support AI and high-performance computing at meaningful, long-term levels."

The parties expect to initiate the load study within 30 days and target execution of definitive agreements within approximately 90 days, subject to customary conditions and approvals.
