Provider notes
Energy. Meta says all energy use at the facility is matched with 100% clean and renewable energy; the company states its supported projects are adding 9,000 MW of new clean and renewable generation across Texas.
Water. Dry-cooling design that minimises water use. Meta reports $8m invested in local water and wastewater infrastructure and support for a regional restoration project targeting 5.2 million gallons returned to the local watershed annually by 2030.
What the source record says
Three-building greenfield campus of more than 750,000 sq ft of data center and administrative space. JE Dunn lists the project status as completed. Meta reported $1.7m in direct funding to Bell County schools and nonprofits, including a $400,000 grant announced at the opening.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
