Big Watt Digital (“Big Watt” or the “Company”), an integrated power and digital-infrastructure platform that combines dedicated, behind-the-meter, grid-independent power generation, and digital infrastructure development, today announced the appointment of Keith Meyer as President. In this role, Meyer will oversee Big Watt’s growth strategy and capital markets initiatives. Big Watt continues to advance its development of data center projects with capacity of more than two gigawatts across three sites in Texas and South Dakota, with a 14-gigawatt pipeline across major markets. Meyer will help accelerate Big Watt’s mission of delivering grid independent speed to power by bringing together energy development expertise, capital markets experience and strategic partnerships.
Meyer’s appointment highlights Big Watt’s continued investment in the leadership capabilities required to execute at scale as demand for AI-ready infrastructure accelerates. With decades of experience developing complex energy projects, navigating regulatory environments, and engaging capital markets, Meyer will help guide the Company through its next phase of growth.
“Keith’s continued leadership reflects the depth of experience we’ve built at the top of this company,” said Alex Hern, Founder and Co-CEO of Big Watt Digital. “With a four-decade track record of developing mega-projects, and with a history of navigating capital markets and regulatory complexity, he is the right leader for Big Watt as we enter this next phase of growth.”
