We’ve called Texas home for more than 15 years, and today, we’re announcing a new $40 billion investment in the Lone Star State through 2027. This funding will help build new cloud and AI infrastructure, including new data center campuses in Armstrong and Haskell Counties.
Google is committed to responsibly growing its infrastructure by bringing new energy resources onto the grid, paying for costs associated with its operations, and supporting community energy efficiency initiatives. In Texas, this includes a new $30 million Energy Impact Fund to scale and accelerate energy initiatives, along with more than 6,200 megawatts of new energy generation and capacity through power purchase agreements with energy developers. One of our new Haskell County data centers will be built alongside a new solar and battery storage plant.
To help develop the labor force to build new infrastructure, electrical training ALLIANCE, with our support, will train existing electrical workers and more than 1,700 apprentices in Texas by 2030, more than doubling the projected pipeline of new electricians in the state.
Our latest investment in Texas is designed to not only support Texas’ workforce and infrastructure, but to ensure the U.S. retains the technical backbone to lead the world in AI.
