Analysis
Energy Capital Partners and KKR have announced the development of a 190 MW hyperscale data center campus in Bosque County, Texas, marking the first project in their $50 billion strategic partnership to expand AI infrastructure across the United States.
The campus will be located next to Calpine’s Thad Hill Energy Center, benefiting from a dedicated power agreement that ensures 24/7 electricity supply. This structure not only supports hyperscaler reliability but also contributes to ERCOT grid stability by redirecting power during peak demand periods.
The multiphase project, developed in collaboration with CyrusOne, will span over 700,000 square feet and deliver an initial 144 MW of IT capacity. With a total expected investment nearing $4 billion, the campus is positioned as one of the most significant AI data infrastructure builds in the Dallas–Fort Worth region.
This project introduces a new model that integrates scalable land, reliable power, and compute infrastructure in one coordinated system. It reflects the growing demand for hyperscale solutions that deliver certainty, speed, and long-term capacity for AI workloads.
Similar large-scale developments have emerged across the United States:
- Tract is developing a 2 GW data center megasite in Caldwell County, Texas, focused on AI and cloud applications.
- A joint venture between Tallgrass and Crusoe is constructing a hyperscale campus near Cheyenne, Wyoming, targeting up to 1.8 GW of demand.
- Meta recently signed a 600 MW solar power deal in Texas to fuel its expanding data centers with renewable energy.
The ECP and KKR Bosque campus aims to become a global blueprint for hyperscale data center development, merging energy expertise and digital infrastructure under a single industrial vision. The site is expected to be operational by the fourth quarter of 2026.
