SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- July 10, 2026 -- Mindstream Energy has launched Mindstream Jordan LLC, a subsidiary targeting development of a 400-megawatt sovereign AI and digital infrastructure platform in Jordan. The Houston-based energy-to-compute company plans to build the facility on a 245-acre campus in Al-Risha to serve growing demand for artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and sovereign cloud services across Jordan and the broader Middle East and North Africa region. The project combines on-site power generation with modular data center deployment to create what the company describes as a next-generation compute platform for government, energy, enterprise, research, healthcare, defense, and technology sector customers.
Campus Design Integrates Energy Resources with Modular Data Center Infrastructure
Mindstream Jordan's Al-Risha development integrates long-term natural gas resources, on-site power generation, modular AI data centers, telecommunications infrastructure, and phased capacity expansion. The platform can be configured to meet specific performance, security, sovereignty, and operational requirements for diverse AI and digital infrastructure workloads. Designed for rapid deployment and scalability, the modular approach allows customers to deploy compute infrastructure in three to four months from order to operational delivery. The phased deployment strategy aligns infrastructure expansion with customer demand and commercial commitments, supporting capital-efficient growth.
Physically Isolated Compute Zones Provide Sovereign-Grade Data Separation
The campus design incorporates dedicated, physically isolated compute zones. Each zone operates with independent fiber connectivity, power distribution, and secure access infrastructure. Individual countries, governments, or enterprise customers can operate within fully segregated environments. This architecture provides sovereign-grade data isolation and security assurances for customers with stringent data sovereignty requirements. The approach addresses operational continuity concerns for organizations requiring controlled data environments and regulatory compliance in sensitive computing applications.
Water-Free Cooling Systems Address Regional Infrastructure Constraints
Planned modular systems will utilize advanced recirculating cooling technologies that do not require an outside water source. This design choice addresses water conservation and infrastructure sustainability considerations in regions where water availability constrains traditional data center operations. The cooling approach reduces dependency on local water infrastructure while maintaining operational performance for high-density computing workloads. At full buildout, Mindstream Energy projects the Al-Risha facility could become one of the largest energy-backed modular AI infrastructure campuses in the Middle East.
Jordan Investment Minister Cites Economic Growth and Technology Transfer Potential
H.E. Dr. Tareq Abu Ghazaleh, Minister of Investment of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, stated that projects combining innovation, sustainable energy resources, and advanced digital infrastructure have potential to contribute to economic growth, technology transfer, and development of a competitive knowledge-based economy. Jordan's strategic location, political stability, skilled workforce, and commitment to digital transformation position the country as a destination for advanced technology infrastructure. The Kingdom's focus on artificial intelligence, digital modernization, and technology investment aligns with Mindstream's development objectives for the Al-Risha campus.
Platform Targets AI Training, Cloud Services, and Research Computing Applications
The campus is expected to support AI model training and inference, high-performance computing, cloud services, cybersecurity operations, controlled data environments, research computing, energy exploration and operations, and digital transformation initiatives. Mark F. Thimmig, Chairman and CEO of Mindstream Energy, stated the company's vision is to transform Jordan's domestic energy resources into sovereign AI infrastructure that supports innovation, attracts investment, and helps position the Kingdom as a regional leader in advanced computing and digital transformation. The platform's modular architecture allows configuration for specific workload requirements across government and commercial sectors.
Energy-to-Compute Model Converts Natural Gas Resources into Computing Capacity
Mindstream Energy operates as a U.S.-based energy-to-compute infrastructure company focused on transforming low-cost energy resources into scalable digital infrastructure. The Al-Risha project applies this model by leveraging Jordan's natural gas resources to power on-site generation for computing operations. This integrated approach aims to provide cost advantages and operational resilience compared to facilities dependent on grid power. The company positions the development as supporting Jordan's emergence as a regional hub for sovereign AI, advanced computing, and resilient digital infrastructure.
