Subsidiaries Duos Edge AI and Duos Energy to partner with Pampa Economic Development Corporation and Pampa Energy Center to develop high-density Data Center Development Parks

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Dec. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Duos Technologies Group, Inc. ("Duos" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: DUOT), through its operating subsidiaries Duos Edge AI, Inc. ("Duos Edge AI"), and Duos Energy Corp. ("Duos Energy"), proudly announces a pivotal partnership with the Pampa Energy Center ("PEC"). This collaboration aims to develop high-density Data Center Development Parks powered by up to 500MW of natural gas self-generation, supplemented by up to 200MW of wind turbine generation and alternative fuel sources for redundancy. This 500+ acre project will transform Pampa Texas's infrastructure, create jobs, and drive technological and economic growth. This establishes Pampa as an epicenter to address the national shortage of High-Density Data Center (HDDC) capacity.

Shane Stokes (City Manager, Pampa, TX), Jimmy L. Keough (Commissioner Ward 3 Mayor protem, TX), Ted Hutto (Vice President, PEC), Doug Recker (President and Founder, Duos Edge AI), Ryan Bradley (Executive Director, PEDC, TX), and David Dorman (Director of Commercial Operations, Duos Energy Corp.)

Building on its proven expertise in deploying adaptive and scalable brick and mortar data centers, Duos Edge AI is streamlining project timelines, optimizing operations, and delivering bespoke infrastructure solutions for Pampa to support four 50MW HDDCs. In partnership with Fortress Investment Group, Duos Energy will ensure reliable energy for the HDDCs by providing up to 500MW of natural gas self-generation, bolstered by wind turbine generation and alternative fuel sources for enhanced redundancy. By the end of 2025, the first 50MW HDDC is planned to be operational. This integrated approach ensures sustainability and resilience to support Pampa's growing technological and economic needs.

"The US faces a tough challenge in alleviating the current data center demand shortfall, as well as building data centers with alternative energy sources. This collaboration helps to accomplish these challenges, as well as defines a new direction for the Texas panhandle and sets up Pampa to be a new technology leader in the High-Density Data Center landscape. We're excited to help set Pampa on an innovative path forward and create new jobs and economic development in the region through this collaboration," said Doug Recker, President and Founder of Duos Edge AI.

"Duos Energy Corporation, partnered with Fortress Investment Group, recently signed a definitive agreement to manage 850MW of mobile gas turbines acquired from APR Energy. This strategic partnership with Pampa allows us to begin the deployment of these highly sought-after power generation assets starting in early 2025 and will provide a bridge to a long-term permanent power plant. We are honored to contribute to Pampa's economic growth and bright future," stated Chuck Ferry, CEO of Duos.

"We are looking forward to collaborating with the Pampa Energy Center to deliver mission-critical power to this High-Density Data Center development. Duos Energy's turn-key solution will provide rapid-dispatch bridging power, seamlessly transitioning to a permanent facility. We are honored to contribute to the future economic growth and development of Pampa, Texas," said David Dorman, Duos Energy's Director of Commercial Operations.

Glennette Goode, President of the Pampa Energy Center, added, "The partnership with Duos Edge AI, Duos Energy, and the Pampa Energy Center allows for the transformation of Pampa into a dynamic hub of innovation, enhanced connectivity, and economic strength. Our board has long focused on the need to diversify our commercial and industrial base. Located in the central United States and within the heart of the wind energy sector, we are poised for significant economic growth. This partnership is the first step in a journey to long-term prosperity in Pampa, Texas."
