In brief

What makes it notable.

  1. A 1,000 MW interconnection agreement with AEP Texas anchors a roughly 521-acre campus, with about 500 MW serving phase one and the remainder under development for phase two.
  2. Two 352 MW phases are both designed to NVIDIA's DSX reference architecture; redesigning the phase one data halls added 57 percent more IT capacity on the same land and utility footprint.
  3. Utility energization is targeted for the first quarter of 2027, phase one halls for the third quarter of 2027, and phase two's first hall for the second quarter of 2028. Jacobs leads EPCM and Vertiv supplies power and cooling.
