Energy Abundance Development Corp. plans to power world's largest data center hub with green hydrogen in Texas
Key Ideas
  • Energy Abundance Development Corp. plans to build a 50,000-acre data center hub near Laredo, Texas, powered by 100% green energy, including a future transition to green hydrogen.
  • The project will start with 300 megawatts of power and 1 million square feet of data center space, eventually expanding to 5 gigawatts of power and over 15 million square feet of leasable space.
  • The company aims to solve the challenge of securing reliable, low-cost power for large-scale data centers while reducing environmental impact by transitioning to green hydrogen sourced from its hydrogen storage facility.
  • Other Texas companies, like Last Energy and Meta, are also exploring innovative ways to power data centers sustainably, such as using micro-nuclear reactors and solar energy projects.
Energy Abundance Development Corp., based in Houston, is set to construct a massive data center hub near Laredo, Texas, named 'Data City, Texas.' This project aims to be the world's largest behind-the-meter data center, running entirely on 100% green energy. Initially, the data centers will operate on natural gas, but the company plans to shift to 100% green hydrogen sourced from its hydrogen salt dome storage facility in the future. The phased development will start with 300 megawatts of power and 1 million square feet of data center space, eventually scaling up to 5 gigawatts of power and over 15 million square feet of leasable space. This transition to green hydrogen is a strategic move to address the challenge of securing reliable, low-cost power for large-scale data centers while minimizing their environmental impact. Energy Abundance is also working on another green energy production and storage hub near Corpus Christi, where they plan to produce significant amounts of green hydrogen and green ammonia annually using wind and solar power. Additionally, other Texas companies like Last Energy are exploring the deployment of micro-nuclear reactors to meet the increasing demand from data centers. Meta, the parent company of Facebook and other platforms, has partnered with a renewable energy company to power its Texas data centers with solar projects totaling 595 megawatts. These initiatives highlight the growing trend of sustainable power solutions for data centers in Texas, showcasing the industry's shift towards environmentally friendly practices.
