Gridmatic Signs 10MW PPA With Sol Systems, Serving Edge Data Center Provider EdgeConneX

The contract boosts Gridmatic’s AI-optimized clean energy ERCOT portfolio, delivering carbon-free power to its retail customers

Gridmatic, a leading AI-enabled power marketer, announced today a 10-megawatt (MW) solar power purchase agreement (PPA) in Texas with Mars Solar, a project managed and co-owned by Sol Systems, a leading Independent Power Producer committed to building, owning, and managing clean energy infrastructure that benefits local communities.

The project, located in ERCOT, will directly support Gridmatic’s rapidly growing commercial and industrial (C&I) retail business by providing competitively priced, carbon-free electricity. Optimized through Gridmatic’s AI-based market forecasting, a portion of the solar output will serve EdgeConneX, a global data center operator and sustainability leader, that recently renewed its partnership with Gridmatic to continue receiving hourly matched clean energy.

“This PPA adds reliable, carbon-free capacity to help us meet the growing energy needs of our retail customers,” said Jackson Vo, President of Retail at Gridmatic. “Sol Systems has been an exceptional partner—equally committed to driving meaningful impact, which makes this collaboration especially rewarding.”

“We’re proud to partner with Gridmatic to advance new retail clean energy offerings—such as hourly matching—for data center customers like EdgeConneX,” said Andrew Grin, Senior Vice President of Enterprise Solutions, at Sol Systems. “This collaboration reflects our commitment to partnerships that deliver impactful solutions for today’s forward-looking energy buyers.”

“Our continued partnership with Gridmatic reflects our commitment to leading-edge sustainability,” said Phillip Marangella, Chief Marketing and Product Officer at EdgeConneX. “Hourly matching of clean energy is a critical step toward truly accountable decarbonization, and Gridmatic enables us to achieve that with precision.”

Gridmatic’s AI-powered approach to forecasting, bidding, and load management allows it to offer retail electricity contracts that optimize both cost and carbon. The company continues to expand its presence in Texas, helping C&I customers access high-quality clean energy through innovative contract structures.
