Vaxil” or the
“
Company”) (TSXV:VXL) and Green Data Center Real
Estate Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of British
Columbia (“
Green Data Centers”) are pleased to
announce that, further to Vaxil’s news release dated May 27, 2024,
they have entered into an amalgamation agreement dated August 20,
2024 (the “
Definitive Agreement”), pursuant to
which Vaxil will acquire all of the issued and outstanding
securities of Green Data Centers by way of a three-cornered
amalgamation under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia)
in exchange for securities of Vaxil issued on a one-for-one and
post-Consolidation (as defined below) basis to be issued to the
former security holders of Green Data Centers (the
“
Transaction”).

reverse take-over of Vaxil and a change of business for the
Company, with the Company carrying on the business of Green Data
Centers following closing, as further described below.
About Green Data Centers
Green Data Centers’ mission is to sustainably
power the digital world. Green Data Centers develops and plans to
construct renewable energy generation, storage assets and
hyperscale data centers. These assets are in high
demand due to the increasing creation and utilization of digital
data, combined with the exponential growth in Artificial
Intelligence, which is driving the need for trillion-dollar data
centers to support this rapid expansion.1 It has been projected
that energy consumption of the largest AI training cluster will
grow to consume 20% of the U.S. electricity production by the end
of the decade, driven by the exponential increase in compute
power.2 The need for power, land, and infrastructure is expected to
become a significant constraint in the development of these
trillion-dollar AI clusters.3
Green Data Centers creates value through:
-
Renewable Generation: Solar and wind power
generation can produce long term revenue from selling power to the
grid and can offer low-cost renewable energy for data center
use.
- Battery
Energy Storage Systems (BESS): Green Data Centers is
developing a portfolio of BESS projects that will produce revenue
from energy arbitrage and grid services. BESS projects buy low
priced energy during off peak, low demand hours and sell for a
profit during peak priced hours.
- Data
Centers: Green Data Centers develops powered-land,
powered-shells or fully operational wholesale data centers.
Green Data Centers seeks to pair energy
generation, storage and data centers presenting a major competitive
advantage which results in higher arbitrage for energy storage and
lower cost of power for data centers.
Green Data Centers development pipeline includes
the following, which has the potential for nearby data center
development:
250MW West Texas BESS
Project
Green Data Centers has entered into a purchase
agreement to acquire land for a 250MW/1000MWh BESS project at a
grid node with significant renewable energy variability. The
project, subject to final permitting, has a projected CAPEX of $375
million USD and projected gross revenues from third party modelling
in excess of $100 million USD. Green Data Centers anticipates
selecting an EPC contractor and battery manufacturer in early 2025,
with project completion and revenue planned in 2026.
Project Financing
Green Data Centers plans to finance its project
pipeline on a non-recourse basis with a combination of equity, debt
and tax credits. Under the Inflation Reduction Act, Investment Tax
Credits (ITCs) in America which can provide up to 30% of CAPEX plus
an additional 10% for each: domestic US content, historical
hydrocarbon development area (an energy community) or low-income
communities. The ITCs are typically sold to large banks and other
investors at commercial operation of the project, thereby
contributing materially to the overall project capital stack.
Green Data Centers anticipates raising project
equity optimally between private equity funds participating at the
project level, green bonds or private placements in the parent
company. Discussions are currently underway with substantial equity
providers and partners.
