Texas Hyperscale Data Center Site Opens 1,000 MW Power, 1 GW Tesla Megapack Ground Lease

Texas Site Offers 1,000 Megawatts Power and 1 GWh Battery Capacity for Hyperscale AI Data Centers to meet surging AI demand; infrastructure for 2028 operations

DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, May 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In the United States of America, a new Texas land package has cleared early engineering and interconnection milestones, making 1,000 megawatts (MW) of firm electrical capacity and a matching 1 gigawatt-hour (GWh) four-hour Tesla Megapack battery system available on a single ground-lease campus and available in blocks of 250 megawatts (MW). The site, positioned on the ERCOT grid, targets commissioning in 2028 and is designed for hyperscale cloud and artificial-intelligence compute tenants that require low-carbon, high-availability power at scale.

“The 1 gigawatt (GW) of power block is fully mapped to ERCOT queue positions, and the storage component stabilises renewable output for AI inference loads in blocks of 250 megawatts (MW).” said Roxanne Marquis, Texas broker and data-center land specialist at 8888CRE.
Why demand is spiking now
• NVIDIA’s CES 2025 launch of DGX Spark and DGX Station systems—powered by Grace Blackwell GPUs—adds a reported 20 MW+ of new load per hyperscale hall.
• Microsoft Build 2025 introduced 50+ “agentic web” tools that require latency-sensitive edge zones.
• The $500 billion Stargate initiative (OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle, MGX) broke ground in Abilene this quarter, anchoring 400,000 Blackwell GPUs in Texas.
• Tesla’s Cortex 2.0 super-compute cluster and ongoing grid-scale BESS deployments reinforce local manufacturing of energy storage.

Recent policy moves and corporate announcements are reshaping the global data-center map: under the U.S.-led “Stargate” AI infrastructure programme, championed by former President Donald Trump, sovereign-wealth and corporate investors from the United Arab Emirates, Japan, Qatar and Saudi Arabia have earmarked multibillion-dollar allocations for new hyperscale campuses in Texas and allied North American regions, while also signalling parallel builds in Singapore and Bahrain to support Gulf-to-Asia cloud routes. In a complementary trend, **Elon Musk’s expanding Texas energy ecosystem—anchored by Tesla’s Megapack manufacturing in Austin and SpaceX’s high-throughput satellite links—has attracted joint-venture interest from operators in Germany, France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, each aiming to pair low-carbon power with latency-sensitive GPU clusters for European AI workloads. Meanwhile, capacity modelling published this quarter shows Canada and Brazil preparing incentive packages to host redundant nodes for U.S. platforms, and South Korea and Spain accelerating permitting timelines to stay competitive in the 400-MW-and-up segment. Collectively, these cross-border commitments underscore how international capital is converging on power-secure sites—Texas foremost among them—to meet the surging compute requirements of generative-AI and edge services.

Global Data Center Leaders Drive International Growth in Hyperscale Infrastructure

International investments in data center infrastructure have significantly increased as global demand for hyperscale computing and AI capabilities expands. Key industry leaders from multiple countries are driving these strategic developments, contributing to a comprehensive global infrastructure network.

In the United Arab Emirates, G42 is developing the 5 GW Stargate UAE complex in collaboration with international technology firms. Japan's NTT Communications continues to strengthen its expansive data center infrastructure, while Qatar's Meeza expands its facilities to meet regional demand.

Saudi Arabia sees continued investment from DataVolt in Riyadh, complementing Singapore’s robust growth spearheaded by Keppel Data Centres. Bahrain's Batelco maintains its presence with advanced facilities such as Askar Data Center.

European growth remains robust, led by Vantage Data Centers in Germany, Equinix's extensive expansions in France and the United Kingdom, and Microsoft Azure’s substantial presence in the Netherlands. Switzerland’s Green Datacenter AG expands operations in Zurich, enhancing local digital infrastructure capabilities.

In the Americas, Canada's eStruxture expands operations across major cities, and Brazil’s Ascenty significantly increases capacity in São Paulo. In Asia, Samsung SDS has launched advanced computing facilities in South Korea, and Spain's Edged Energy is rapidly developing renewable-powered data centers across the country.

Collectively, these international firms are enhancing global infrastructure readiness, addressing increasing global demand for high-density computing solutions and supporting the growth of emerging technologies worldwide.

Global Data-Center Leaders Driving HPC Expansion

As generative AI, cloud computing, and edge networks continue to reshape the data-center landscape, numerous international developers and operators are making sizable commitments to meet soaring demand. In the Middle East, G42 in the United Arab Emirates and NEOM and STC in Saudi Arabia remain at the forefront of large-scale infrastructure builds, while Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) and Ooredoo in Qatar are also investing in strategic capacity. Over in Europe, companies such as T-Systems (Deutsche Telekom) and NTT in Germany, OVHcloud in France, Interxion (Digital Realty) and Equinix in the Netherlands, and Ark Data Centres in the UK have each launched expansions geared toward high-density GPU and AI workloads.

In the Asia-Pacific region, SoftBank (Japan) and Keppel Data Centres and ST Telemedia (STT GDC) in Singapore frequently headline HPC-related announcements, showcasing new facilities that align with advanced AI use cases. Meanwhile, Batelco in Bahrain, Green Datacenter in Switzerland, and Naver in South Korea have further diversified the global development pipeline with tailored solutions for 5G, edge compute, and sustainable energy integration.

Beyond these hubs, eStruxture and QScale in Canada, as well as Ascenty in Brazil, have each garnered attention for new sites dedicated to hyperscale cloud and AI deployments. This network of global players underscores how quickly data-center infrastructure is evolving worldwide, serving both multinational tech giants and specialized AI-driven applications.
