Energy Abundance's Data City: A Visionary Hydrogen-Powered Data Center in Texas
Key Ideas
  • Energy Abundance is planning a 50,000-acre off-grid data center campus near Laredo, Texas, powered by hydrogen and green energy sources.
  • The Data City project is set to support 5 gigawatts of capacity for AI computing, with the first phase of 300 megawatts and 1M SF of data center space coming online next year.
  • Initially, power for Data City will come from natural gas turbines, but over time, these will transition to run on hydrogen sourced from the adjacent Hydrogen City project.
  • The project, led by Energy Abundance, aims to revolutionize the data center industry by promoting sustainability, large-scale infrastructure, and the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
Energy Abundance Development Corp. has unveiled ambitious plans for Data City, a massive off-grid data center campus in the Laredo area of Texas. The project, set to eventually run on hydrogen and green energy sources, aims to revolutionize the industry. Adjacent to the upcoming 2-terawatt Hydrogen City project, Data City is envisioned to house 5 gigawatts of capacity for AI computing, with a phased approach to construction. The initial phase, targeting 300 megawatts and 1M SF of data center space, is scheduled to be operational next year. While the data center will initially rely on natural gas turbines alongside wind, solar, and battery storage, Energy Abundance plans for a transition to hydrogen from its neighboring facility. The company, previously known as Green Hydrogen International Corp., sees Data City as a game-changer in the sector, emphasizing sustainability and cost-efficiency. The project's focus on AI computing, specifically designed for high-performance GPU equipment, aligns with its goal of achieving Artificial General Intelligence. Brian Maxwell, the CEO, envisions Data City as a pioneer in infrastructure development, heralding a new era of behind-the-meter energy projects.
