This is a source-attributed discovery row. It can help you find a place and its citations; it is not a DataCenterData finding that the facility is distinct or currently operating.

- Gray County Chapter 312 property-tax abatement - air-cooling (no water) required as a condition; reported ~100% relief for 10 years per phase across up to 3 phases (per New Project Media / local reporting) · Gray County, TX · 2025 Open cited source →
Provider notes
Energy. Built directly alongside new co-located Intersect Power generation - >1 GW of wind, solar, and battery storage with on-site gas-fired firming (component MW undisclosed). The data center is largely off-grid, powered by the co-located generation (mayor: 'on the electricity side, it's all off-grid').
Water. Air-cooling used in place of evaporative cooling to eliminate cooling-tower water withdrawals - a required condition of the Gray County Chapter 312 tax abatement. Ogallala Aquifer protection was the central abatement concern.
Community. Gray County abatement approved on a split 3-1 commissioners' vote (per local reporting); documented public opposition over Ogallala Aquifer groundwater from area agricultural producers, alongside chamber, mayor, and county-judge support.
What the source record says
Data center co-located with new energy generation, spanning Gray and Roberts counties near Pampa. Part of Google's ~$40B Texas commitment; Google took a stake in Intersect Power. IT capacity not disclosed. Coordinates are the Pampa area centroid. Local reporting cites a ~$3B project cost (est. ~$1B/phase across 3 phases per the abatement filing) - an estimate -> investmentUsd omitted. ~40 permanent jobs projected across phases (abatement filing); facility not yet operational -> jobs honest-zero.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
