CleanSpark, Inc. revealed plans to develop a large-scale data center in Brazoria County, Texas, a move that could significantly increase its energy capacity in the region. The company has entered into a definitive agreement to purchase up to 447 acres of land and secure a long-term extension for transmission facilities. This strategic investment will enable a data center capable of handling an initial load demand of 300 MW, with the potential to scale up to a formidable 600 MW.
Expanding Energy Infrastructure in Texas
This transaction marks CleanSpark’s second major development initiative in the Houston region, both operating under the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). The first project was located in Austin County. Combined, these initiatives represent over 890 megawatts of potential aggregate service capacity, solidifying the area as a growing energy and infrastructure hub.
The completion of the land acquisition and transmission agreement is anticipated in the first quarter of 2026, contingent upon approvals from relevant stakeholders and landowners. The project promises to deliver transmission-grade power, crucial for supporting the intensive energy demands of modern data centers.
What kind of power capacity will this data center have? The planned data center will initially support 300 MW of power, with the ability to expand to a total of 600 MW, providing substantial capacity for future growth.
