Fluidstack Breaks Ground on $4B, 1.5GW Texas AI Data Center Campus
MxMnr · x · 2026-09-24
AI compute company Fluidstack has begun construction on the $4 billion first phase of its data center campus in Cameron County, Texas, planned to support up to 1.5 GW of capacity. The project is expected to create 2,500+ construction jobs and several hundred permanent positions.
The company says it will pay its own energy, infrastructure and water costs, requested and received no local property tax abatements, uses a closed-loop cooling system holding less water than an Olympic pool, and will comply with Governor Abbott's data center directives plus PUCT/ERCOT audits on safety and grid reliability.
