Questions
- Isn't this all public information?
- Yes, and that is the point. Every figure here comes from a filing, a company release, a county record or published reporting, and every record shows its sources. What you are paying for is the work of finding it, dating it, structuring it and keeping it current — across hundreds of projects, every week.
- How current is it?
- The dataset version and run date are in the footer of every page, so you can always tell what you are looking at. New developments are logged as dated events rather than silently edited into records.
- What happens when sources disagree?
- We keep both and say so. Records carry a confidence level, disclosed figures are distinguished from estimated ones, and a blank field means nobody published the number — not that it is zero.
- Can I cancel?
- Any time, from your account. You keep access through the period you have paid for.

About
TX AI Intel Hub tracks the companies, projects, power demand, investment, and development activity behind Texas' rapidly expanding AI data center market.
The platform brings together sourced project data, dated intelligence events, company relationships, development status, power requirements, investment figures, and risk indicators in one place.
Coverage focuses on projects that are meaningful to the AI infrastructure buildout: hyperscale campuses, major colocation expansions, powered-land developments, and bitcoin-to-AI conversions.
How the intelligence is built
Every material development is logged as a dated intelligence event and tied back to the relevant project, company, and location.
Project records are updated as new information becomes available, and disclosed figures stay distinct from estimates. Confidence levels and risk flags mark the places where the underlying information is incomplete, conflicting, or still developing.
All records go through automated validation before publication, which keeps projects, companies, locations, and timelines consistent with one another.
Focused on Texas. Built to go deeper.
Many data center intelligence platforms spread their coverage across projects nationwide. TX AI Intel Hub takes a different approach: stay focused on Texas and go deeper.
That means following projects over time, connecting new developments to existing records, tracking changes in power, investment, ownership, construction status, and risk, and building a historical intelligence trail around each project instead of treating every announcement as a standalone data point.
The result is a more complete view of the Texas AI infrastructure market: not just where projects are, but how they are developing, who is involved, and what is changing.
Consider joining as a Pro subscriber
Pro is built for people who need more than a quick project lookup.
The value is in having the surrounding intelligence ready to hand: deeper project context, connected company and location data, development history, research, and the signals that explain where a project stands and where it may be headed.
Instead of piecing together dozens of articles, filings, announcements, and local reports, Pro gives you a structured intelligence layer for following the Texas AI data center market as it develops.

Industrial Digital Infrastructure in Ector County, Texas
Asset catalog and macro-environmental analysis
Ector County has become a primary node of the Permian's compute transition, anchored by two opposing architectures: the planned 1+ GW Texas Critical Data Centers hybrid campus at Penwell and Cipher Mining's operational 207 MW grid-flexible Odessa mine. Abundant associated gas, CO2 pipeline networks, and favorable development structures collide with water scarcity and rising county-level scrutiny.
Two architectures, one county
Industrial data center development in Ector County is defined by two massive campuses with opposite philosophies: the planned, gigawatt-scale Texas Critical Data Centers (TCDC) AI campus, and the operational, grid-connected Cipher Odessa digital-asset mine. Alongside them sit municipal assets (ECISD's on-premise facilities) and a 10 MW Odessa battery storage project (commissioned Oct 2020) stabilizing the local ERCOT grid.
Texas Critical Data Centers AI Campus
Located in Penwell, unincorporated Ector County west of Odessa, TCDC spans 438 acres (235- and 203-acre acquisitions) with negotiations for an adjacent 54-acre corridor to reach 492 acres. Originally a 50/50 JV between New Era Energy & Digital (NASDAQ: NUAI) and Sharon AI, ownership consolidated in March 2026: New Era acquired Sharon AI's stake for $70M — $10M cash, $10M deferred equity settled Mar 31, and a $50M senior secured note maturing Jun 30, 2026.
Primary Digital Infrastructure leads capital structuring; a non-binding LOI brings Stream Data Centers (Apollo-backed) as builder-operator. Development rides a $290M Macquarie senior secured credit facility, with additional funding closed Apr 14, 2026.
The phased hybrid power model targets speed-to-power while dodging queue congestion:
| Phase | Capacity | Power source | Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | 200 MW critical IT | Utility grid — high-voltage lines near Vistra & Calpine combined-cycle plants | Online late 2026 |
| Phase 2 | 450 MW | On-site BTM gas — Thunderhead 250 MW reciprocating/turbine plant; EYP-designed 400 MW power islands scalable to 1 GW | Commissioning into late 2027 |
| Phase 3 | 1+ GW cumulative | Full on-site expansion | TBD |
Carbon mitigation is unusually aggressive for a Permian BTM build: a Mawgan Capital LOI for the Digital Zero Power program (low-CI gas certificates verified via Context Labs), plus an April 2026 Energy Dome CO2 Battery Plus MoU — capturing OCGT waste heat to evaporate liquid CO2 on discharge, boosting peak output up to 100% without burning additional gas. Site prep and permitting are underway; full infrastructure construction begins 2026.
