CALGARY, AB , July 8, 2025 /CNW/ - Westbridge Renewable Energy Corp. (TSXV: WEB) (OTCQX: WEGYF) (FRA: PUQ) ("Westbridge", "Westbridge Renewable" or the "Company") a leading developer of utility-scale renewable energy and energy infrastructure, is pleased to announce the launch of its first data centre project, Fontus, located in Colorado, USA.

The 380-megawatt data centre campus marks Westbridge's strategic entry into digital infrastructure, underscoring its commitment to building sustainable, high-performance assets in high-demand markets.  Fontus is situated in a strategic location near major urban centres with quick access to a key carrier-neutral fibre network hub, providing proximity to end users and strong network connectivity potential.

"Fontus represents a bold step forward for Westbridge as we leverage our core strengths in land origination, permitting, and grid infrastructure to enter the high-growth digital infrastructure market," said Stefano Romanin, CEO of Westbridge. "This is a natural extension of our renewable energy platform, and we're excited to bring clean, scalable computing capacity to one of the most dynamic markets in the U.S."

Project Highlights:

• Name: Fontus Data Centre Project
• Location: Colorado, USA
• Size: 380+ MW
• Status: Land secured; environmental feasibility completed; fibre available
• Connectivity: Grid and natural gas interconnection process underway
• Strategic Value: Near key urban nodes and a regional data carrier hotel, enabling low-latency delivery and access to high-speed fibre networks

With the land acquisition completed and critical milestone assessments successfully evaluated, Fontus is now progressing through grid and gas interconnection approvals. The site offers a robust platform for future clean energy integration, including potential co-location with Westbridge's renewable power assets.

"Data centres are rapidly evolving as one of the most critical infrastructure classes that support the vast digital ecosystem¹," added Romanin. "Fontus combines power, proximity, and scale — three essential ingredients for tomorrow's cloud and AI-driven applications."

Westbridge expects to provide further updates as project milestones are achieved, including anchor tenant engagement, final site design, and power procurement strategy.
