AMERICAN CLEAN ENERGY (ACE) – AN ACRG Company
What We Do
American Clean Energy (ACE) is an energy infrastructure development company that builds and finances site-specific power solutions for two of the fastest-growing electricity markets in America: AI data centers and critical industrial operations — including ACRG’s own Critical Mineral Processing Hubs.
ACE develops geothermal, utility-scale solar, liquefied natural gas, and firm power assets — selected by economics and site conditions, not technology preference. The company handles development, commercial structuring, and project financing end-to-end, delivering bankable energy projects in constrained-supply markets. Excess power from ACRG hub operations is sold back to the grid, supporting local communities and grid resilience.

ACE will supply power to our Critical Mineral Processing Hubs with excess power sold back to the grid to support local communities.
The Problem We Solve
Demand for electricity is surging — driven by artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and the reshoring of American manufacturing — but the power grid cannot keep up.
Grid congestion, permitting backlogs, and limited baseload generation capacity create a structural gap between what these industries need and what’s available. Companies that need reliable power measured in tens or hundreds of megawatts often cannot get it where they need it, when they need it. ACE solves that by developing energy assets at specific sites where demand is clear and grid constraints make new power supply valuable.
Why ACE Is Different
We control the land
ACE is anchored by access to strategic land assets and early-stage site positioning. ACRG’s Millers property in Nevada includes 1,183 acres of privately held land in the state’s geothermal corridor with established power transmission access, plus a 14,000-acre adjacent BLM Solar Energy Zone pending federal approval. Controlling the land means more predictable timelines and lower execution risk.
Execution discipline over technology claims
ACE’s competitive advantage isn’t a patent — it’s the ability to combine land access, permitting strategy, and power economics early in development to deliver bankable projects in markets where power availability is constrained.
Built for serious power users
ACE doesn’t build small residential solar installations. We develop energy infrastructure for customers who need long-term, reliable, scalable power — data centers running 24/7 and industrial operations that can’t afford downtime.
Technology-agnostic, economics-driven
We evaluate geothermal, solar, and firm power based on what makes economic sense for each site and each customer. We’re not locked into one technology, which means we can adapt as markets, regulations, and customer requirements evolve.
Market Opportunity
The U.S. market for data center and industrial power infrastructure represents a multi-hundred-billion-dollar opportunity over the next decade. Data center electricity demand alone is projected to require tens of gigawatts of new generation capacity. ACE targets a focused portion of this market through selective development of high-quality energy projects, prioritizing execution certainty and risk-adjusted returns on a project-by-project basis.
Leadership
Paul Calatayud
Chief Executive Officer, ACE
Calatayud brings deep expertise in AI infrastructure, capital strategy, and large-scale energy project development. As Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Amp Z, he oversaw development of a 1,000-acre, 100-megawatt AI data center campus that secured $300 million in capital expenditures and $1.2 billion in debt financing — one of the largest AI data center project financings of its kind.
John Livingston
President, ACE
Livingston brings more than 40 years of experience in critical facility design, data center development, and commercial real estate. His career spans the full development lifecycle — land entitlement, construction management, and delivery of large-scale, mission-critical facilities for global enterprises. He maintains deep relationships across the energy, data center, and digital infrastructure industries and brings proven execution capability to complex, capital-intensive projects.
