Vistra (VST) Selected As The Preferred Power Provider For A $10 Billion KKR-Backed AI Infrastructure Venture Vistra Corp. (NYSE:VST) is one of the undervalued infrastructure stocks to buy now.
Vistra’s selection as the preferred power provider for a $10 billion KKR-backed AI infrastructure venture underscores its growing role in powering the AI economy
On June 11, 2026, a KKR-led group launched Helix Digital Infrastructure, a new company backed by more than $10 billion in committed capital aimed at financing AI infrastructure build-out. Vistra is an anchor investor in the venture and has been named Helix’s preferred power provider, positioning it alongside Nvidia, which will contribute AI data-center design expertise, and the Kuwait Investment Authority. Helix is led by former Amazon Web Services CEO Adam Selipsky, who stepped down from that role in May 2024 after reportedly doubling AWS’s sales and operating profit since 2021.
The launch reflects a broader push by private capital into AI infrastructure as surging U.S. data-center construction strains power supply and tightens electronics components. KKR’s infrastructure platform manages over $100 billion in assets, including more than $70 billion across digital and power. Helix can bring in additional institutional investors once founding commitments close.
