In brief

What makes it notable.

  1. The primary power plan is off-grid: a behind-the-meter natural gas microgrid using INNIO Jenbacher engines from VoltaGrid, per press reporting citing project documents, though the site sits in ERCOT.
  2. Kiewit is general contractor for 10 buildings totaling 3.7 million square feet on 1,200 acres, with groundbreaking in December 2025 and 1.4 GW of critical IT planned.
  3. The closed-loop chiller design targets racks of 250 kW and above with minimal water use. The first building is targeted for the second half of 2026 and full buildout for 2028.
