Texas Takes the Lead with World's Largest Green-Powered Data Center
Key Ideas
  • Energy Abundance is constructing a massive 50,000-acre data center hub in southwest Texas, powered entirely by green energy, with plans to reach 5GW of power and 15 million square feet of leasable space.
  • The project will transition to using 100 percent green hydrogen sourced from a hydrogen salt dome storage facility at the adjacent Hydrogen City, addressing environmental impact and reliability concerns.
  • Founder Brian Maxwell believes the project will lead the AI race, achieve 24/7 green power with hydrogen and salt cavern storage, and be the birthplace of AGI, marking a significant leap in sustainability and cost-efficiency.
  • In addition to Data City, Energy Abundance is developing a large-scale green energy production and storage hub near Corpus Christi, further solidifying Texas's commitment to green energy production.
Texas is set to become the home of the world's largest green-powered data center with a groundbreaking project by Energy Abundance Development Corp. The 50,000-acre data center hub, named Data City, near Laredo in southwest Texas, will run entirely on 100 percent green energy. The project, to be developed in phases, will eventually reach 5GW of power and offer over 15 million square feet of leasable space. Initially powered by natural gas, the data center will transition to using green hydrogen from a storage facility at the nearby Hydrogen City project, expected to come online in 2028. This innovative approach aims to provide reliable, low-cost power for data centers while reducing environmental impact. Founder and CEO Brian Maxwell highlighted the project's significance in addressing challenges faced by hyperscalers and emphasized its role in leading the AI race. Energy Abundance's rebranding reflects its commitment to the mission of achieving 24/7 green power. The company is not only focusing on Data City but is also developing a green energy hub near Corpus Christi to produce green hydrogen and green ammonia. These projects, set to begin construction in 2026, showcase Texas's dedication to sustainable energy solutions and set a remarkable precedent for future endeavors in the industry.
