Power capacity: Multi-hundred megawatts to gigawatt-scale buildout (phased)
Why it’s significant
AI-first design
Built specifically for large-scale AI training workloads rather than traditional cloud hosting.
Power access
The Texas Panhandle offers:
Abundant wind energy
Competitive power pricing
Large land parcels
ERCOT grid interconnection flexibility
Hyperscaler-level buildout
These campuses are structured to support tenants like large AI labs, cloud providers, or model developers that require massive GPU clusters.
