Key Points
1
Graham, Texas Project specifics: The deal covers land and 164 MW of grid interconnection assets. Plug Power is selling to Stream US Data Centers for up to $76.5 million, with $50 million due at closing and up to $26.5 million contingent on the load capacity confirmed in the final interconnection agreement; closing is targeted around July 31, 2026. The transaction is also expected to release about $14 million of cash collateral, contributing to overall liquidity of roughly $90.5 million from this deal.
2
Gateway Project amendments: The New York Gateway sale is fixed at $142 million. Stream’s prior $6.5 million escrow deposit will be released to Plug, and Stream will place a new $10 million escrow deposit for land. The closing provisions were amended to enable near-term sale of the land, and the long-stop closing date for non-land assets was extended to March 31, 2027. Stream has already paid $21.5 million against the purchase price after escrow releases and the earlier $5 million advance.

Combined liquidity scope versus target: While the broader initiative targets more than $275 million in liquidity improvement, the two Stream transactions are expected to provide up to about $90.5 million of total liquidity, reflecting the monetization, restricted cash releases, and reduced maintenance aspects of the program.
4
Data-centers deployment trajectory: Plug Power and Stream are actively pursuing additional opportunities to deploy Plug products in the data center space beyond these two transactions.

Market reaction to the announcements: Plug Power stock moved modestly lower in early trading, with a pre-market decline around 0.3%.
Plug Power has struck two asset sale deals with Stream Data Centers worth up to $218.5 million combined, as part of a broader plan to raise more than $275 million in liquidity, according to Investing.com. The company is selling its Graham, Texas site and amending a prior sale of its New York Gateway Project — both originally built for green hydrogen — to data center operator Stream.
Together, the two transactions are expected to deliver roughly $90.5 million in near-term liquidity, TradingView reported. Plug Power stock edged down about 0.3% in pre-market trading after the news broke.
Plug Sells Texas Green Hydrogen Site to Stream
Plug Power is selling land and 164 MW of grid interconnection assets in Graham, Texas to Stream US Data Centers for up to $76.5 million, according to Gasworld. The site was originally designed as a green hydrogen project. Stream will pay $50 million at closing, with up to $26.5 million more depending on load capacity confirmed in the final interconnection agreement.
Closing is targeted around July 31, 2026. The deal is also expected to free up about $14 million in cash collateral, bringing total liquidity from the Texas transaction to roughly $90.5 million, Investing.com reported. Plug will keep ownership of the substation and interconnection assets and holds a potential right to repurchase the land.
New York Gateway Deal Gets a $142 Million Price Fix
Plug Power also amended its earlier sale of the New York Gateway Project, locking in the price at $142 million, according to TradingView. The updated deal lets Plug close on the land portion sooner. Stream's previous $6.5 million escrow deposit will be released to Plug, and Stream will place a new $10 million escrow deposit for the land.
The long-stop closing date for non-land assets has been pushed to March 31, 2027. Stream has already paid $21.5 million toward the purchase price, counting prior escrow releases and an earlier $5 million advance, TipRanks noted. The amended terms give both sides more time to close on the remaining assets.
$275 Million Liquidity Drive Still Has Ground to Cover
Plug Power's broader liquidity initiative targets more than $275 million in improvements. The two Stream deals are expected to contribute up to about $90.5 million of that total, Seeking Alpha reported. The rest will need to come from other asset sales, cost cuts, or restricted cash releases not yet announced.
The plan combines asset monetization, release of restricted cash collateral, and reduced maintenance costs. Plug is actively working to cut spending on sites it no longer needs to operate, which adds to the overall liquidity gain beyond just the sale prices themselves.
Plug and Stream Eye More Data Center Deals Ahead
The two companies say they are not done. Plug Power and Stream are actively looking for more ways to deploy Plug products inside data centers, according to Gasworld. That signals a possible shift in Plug's business model — from building green hydrogen plants to supplying technology to the fast-growing data center industry.
Data centers need reliable, high-capacity power — a space where Plug's fuel cell and hydrogen technology could find new demand. The partnership with Stream gives Plug a foothold in that market while also helping it raise cash from assets that have sat idle, Investing.com reported.
