Google Armstrong County Campus

Goodnight Campus (Crusoe-developed site) · Project Llano (TDLR filing name) · GN DC1, LLC (filing entity)
Under construction

One of three new Google campuses in the $40B Texas program, its largest investment in any US state. Satellite analysis ties the Armstrong site to Crusoe's Goodnight Campus, which was redesigned mid-2025. PUCT Docket 59220 (Jul 24, 2026) now makes this site the state's first precedent for co-located AI curtailment terms.

Power detail
≈1,030 MW of total facility electrical capacity at full build across seven buildings, per TDLR filings reported Jul 30 to 31, 2026 (Phase 1: four buildings, ~530 MW; Phase 2: three buildings, ~500 MW), a figure the sources state directly as the campus total rather than one summed here. This is a facility-capacity figure, not disclosed IT load, and it is NOT reconciled with the two interconnection-specific figures also on this record: the 525.5 MW behind-the-meter wind-co-located load approved under PUCT Docket 59220 (265.5 MW 'Crusoe Load 1' plus the 260 MW 'Crusoe Load 2' added by the Jul 24, 2026 ruling), and the separately reported off-grid gas-turbine phase of up to 933 MW (TCEQ air-permit application, Feb 2026). Those describe different phases and interconnection types and are still not summable into one another or into the 1,030 MW campus figure; New Project Media additionally reports that gas turbines and battery storage were added to a mix originally conceived as wind and solar. Part of Google's 6.2 GW+ of contracted new Texas generation via PPAs.
