PowerBridge Plans Massive 3,400-Acre AI Data Center Near Pecos

• PowerBridge and Liberty Power Innovations are partnering to develop Alpha Digital Campus, a 2-gigawatt data center campus near Pecos, Texas.
• The project spans a 3,400-acre leased site, with the first phase expected to deliver more than 300 megawatts by the end of 2027.
• West Texas continues to attract major AI infrastructure investments thanks to its abundant energy resources, affordable land, and expanding power capacity.

What the Alpha Digital Campus Will Bring to West Texas

A major artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure project is taking shape in West Texas as PowerBridge and Liberty Power Innovations move forward with the Alpha Digital Campus, a planned 2-gigawatt data center campus near Pecos, Texas. The development follows a 3,400-acre land lease and will be constructed in multiple phases. The first phase is expected to deliver more than 300 megawatts of capacity by the end of 2027, with additional expansion planned as demand for AI computing and cloud services continues to grow. The campus is strategically located along Interstate 20 in Reeves County, close to the Waha natural gas hub. According to ERCOT filings, natural gas is expected to play a key role in powering the development, helping address one of the biggest challenges facing new data centers—reliable energy access.

What Makes West Texas an Attractive Data Center Market

West Texas has become one of the country's fastest-growing regions for hyperscale data center development. Developers are increasingly choosing the area because of its inexpensive land, abundant natural gas resources, and the ability to develop dedicated power generation rather than relying solely on the public electric grid. Several large-scale projects are already underway across the region. Earlier this year, Chevron signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with Microsoft to support a nearly 2.7-gigawatt data center campus in Pecos. The region is also home to Pacifico Energy's GW Ranch, the largest permitted data center campus in the United States, while Meta continues developing its 1-gigawatt AI facility near El Paso. Together, these investments are transforming West Texas into one of the nation's leading destinations for AI infrastructure.

What the Partnership Means for Future Growth

The collaboration combines PowerBridge's expertise in developing pad-ready campuses and fiber infrastructure with Liberty Power Innovations' power generation and grid optimization capabilities. As demand for artificial intelligence continues to accelerate, access to reliable electricity has become one of the biggest hurdles for new data center developments. Industry forecasts estimate that data centers could consume as much as 20% of U.S. electricity by 2035, making energy availability a critical factor when selecting development sites. By pairing dedicated power infrastructure with scalable campus development, Alpha Digital Campus is designed to meet the growing needs of hyperscale technology companies while positioning West Texas as a long-term hub for digital infrastructure investment.
