In Lubbock County, one small data center is running. A 50,000-square-foot project called Project Infrared is proposed, and a 936-acre rezoning request was withdrawn. The City Council voted 5-2 to begin the process toward a 90-day moratorium (a temporary pause) on large-scale data centers.

Gray dots on the map are data centers that volunteers added to OpenStreetMap: 220 as of October 13, 2026. Colored shapes are the 22 projects we looked up in company releases, government pages and news, last checked October 2, 2026. Nobody keeps one full list of Texas data centers, so both are incomplete.

Project Infrared

Corva Infrastructure Services

A planned 50,000-square-foot data center near Municipal Drive and Guava, next to LP&L's Northeast Substation outside Loop 289. It would not generate power on site.

The Lubbock Economic Development Alliance (LEDA) board approved an agreement with Corva in June 2026. LEDA's president told The Texas Tribune it is "not a done deal" until Corva gets its interconnection with ERCOT through Lubbock Power & Light.

936-acre rezoning request, Northeast Loop 289

Texas Solar Works (request filed by Hugo Reed and Associates)

A request to rezone 936 acres off Northeast Loop 289 and southeast of East Municipal Drive from mostly low-density single-family to general industrial for a large data center. No power or water figures were published.

Planning and Zoning voted 4 of 7 against the request in January 2026. LEDA's John Osborne told KCBD on Jan. 16 that the builder withdrew the request "for now" and planned to adjust it and resubmit to Planning and Zoning.

How much water does the City of Lubbock have?

From the City of Lubbock's July 7, 2026 presentation on data centers.

Total supply capacity71.35million gallons per day
Average daily demand36.51million gallons per day34.8 remaining
Peak daily demand50.19million gallons per day21.16 remaining
Water used in 202513.3billion gallons
Today's mix61.1%groundwater38.9% surface water
Lake 712million gallons per day firm yield, target 2032

Source: City of Lubbock (presentation PDF), July 7, 2026. Roberts County wellfield 27.7 · Lake Meredith 5.7 · Lake Alan Henry 20 · Bailey County wellfield 18 MGD.

How big is 1,500 gallons a day?

Our arithmetic: Corva's stated 1,500 gallons a day is about 0.004 percent of the City's average daily demand of 36.51 million gallons. Put the other way, the City's average day is about 24,000 times larger. It is also 1.5 percent of the 100,000-gallons-a-day line the City suggested for discussion as "large-scale."

Corva's stated 6 MW start is 6 percent of the City's suggested 100 MW line, and its 27 MW maximum is 27 percent.

These compare a company's number with the City's numbers. They are not a forecast of what the facility will use, and no permit or meter reading is behind them.

What counts as "large-scale"?

For discussion, the City suggested that "large-scale" mean 100 megawatts or more of electricity and/or 100,000 gallons of water per day or more, primarily serving off-site users.

What did the City Council vote?

The Lubbock City Council voted 5-2 on a resolution that begins the process toward a 90-day moratorium on large-scale data centers, KCBD reported Sept. 23, 2026. City planning staff are to develop guidelines on water use, power reliability, zoning, noise and lighting, and a council work session with experts is to be scheduled within 90 days. District 6 Councilman Tim Collins voted no. KCBD

What we know

Project Infrared would be a 50,000-square-foot data center near Municipal Drive and Guava, next to the Northeast Substation of Lubbock Power & Light (LP&L). The board of the Lubbock Economic Development Alliance (LEDA) approved an agreement with Corva in June 2026.
LEDA's John Osborne said Corva plans to start at 6 MW and reach a maximum of 27 MW. Corva said it would use 1,500 gallons of water a day with closed-loop cooling.
A separate request to rezone 936 acres off Northeast Loop 289 lost a 4-of-7 Planning and Zoning vote in January 2026, and the builder withdrew it "for now."
The City suggested, for discussion, that "large-scale" mean 100 MW or more and/or 100,000 gallons a day or more.
The City Council voted 5-2 to begin the process toward a 90-day moratorium (a temporary pause) on large-scale data centers.

What we do not know

Whether Project Infrared will be built. LEDA says it still needs an interconnection with ERCOT, the Texas grid operator, through Lubbock Power & Light.
The exact parcel for Project Infrared, and any permit or meter reading behind the 1,500-gallon number.
Any power or water number for the 936-acre request. None was published.
Whether the builder will send the 936-acre request in again, and what the moratorium ordinance will say. KCBD reported it was being drafted.

What about the rest of the 806?

The 806 area code reaches from Lubbock to the Panhandle. These are the projects we found in it, outside Lubbock County. Aligned's Project Caprock is in Hale County, outside Abernathy. TeraWulf and Fluidstack's Abernathy project names the town and no county; Abernathy sits in both Hale and Lubbock counties.

Project Caprock

Aligned Data Centers

A six-building campus just outside Abernathy, in Hale County, not Lubbock County. Aligned says its closed-loop cooling design recirculates the same water and protects the Ogallala Aquifer. Hale County is not among the counties named in the Attorney General's announcement.

Aligned announced a groundbreaking on April 9, 2026. It lists the first facility, LBB-01, as anticipated in service in the first quarter of 2027.

A joint venture, 51 percent owned by TeraWulf, to develop a data center campus at Abernathy, with room for later phases.

The release names Abernathy, Texas, and no county. The town sits in both Hale and Lubbock counties, so this record is not counted in either.

TeraWulf announced the joint venture on Oct. 28, 2025. The release does not say whether construction has started.

Under constructionCarson County · Near Amarillo

Project Matador (HyperGrid campus)

Fermi America

A private-power campus beside the Pantex plant in Carson County, near Amarillo, billed as the largest data center in the world. The City of Amarillo says it is not a City project, though it has discussed infrastructure and utility services. On Oct. 28, 2025 the Amarillo City Council voted to authorize a water supply agreement for up to 2.5 million gallons a day, with Fermi paying twice the in-city commercial rate. An earlier proposal before the vote had mentioned up to 5.5 million. Residents have opposed the project, according to Spectrum News 1. Carson County is not among the counties named in the Attorney General's announcement.

Site work was underway in 2025. KFDA reported on Feb. 6, 2026 that Fermi confirmed construction was paused while it waited for a final air permit. Fermi's release dated Feb. 25, 2026 says the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality gave final approval of the permit. Fermi's Aug. 13, 2026 results release says the site is "ready to shift to vertical construction on customer timelines." No source we found ties this project to the Governor's Sept. 21 permit directive or to the Water Development Board survey.

ProposedKent County · Jayton

Project Hyper spur buildings (Jayton)

Two single-story data center buildings of 759,262 square feet each, listed at Country Road 233 and P2390 near Jayton. Each is estimated at $2.4 billion, with construction starting in January 2027 and finishing in mid-2029. The filings give no power or water figures.

Two state project registrations dated Oct. 1, 2026 list the buildings. They name two LLCs as owners and no tenant. Data Center Dynamics reports that Crusoe filed them; the filings do not say so. Separately, the Texas Spur reports that Kent County commissioners voted June 8, 2026 to take a first step toward tax talks with Crusoe on a Kent County data center. No source we found says whether that is the same project.

Of the 18 counties on the Attorney General's list, three are in the 806 area code: Lubbock, Potter (Amarillo) and Randall. Carson County, where Project Matador sits, and Hale County, where Project Caprock sits, are not among the 18. The announcement names counties, not facilities, and does not identify Project Matador, Project Caprock or any other project on this page as under review.

Which Texas counties are on the state's data center investigation list?

On Sept. 24, 2026, the Texas Attorney General said data centers are under initial investigation in counties "including" these 18: Harris, Montgomery, Travis, Dallas, Tarrant, Smith, Bexar, Tom Green, Potter, Randall, Lubbock, Midland, Ector, Wichita, Victoria, Brazos, Nueces, El Paso. The release names counties and no facilities. A shape on the map in one of those counties does not mean that project is among those under review, and a project outside them is not shown to be clear.

On the state's investigation list

What the state has said about data center water reporting

Three state statements from September 2026, and the statute behind them.

Texas Water Code 16.012: a person who fails to timely complete and return the Water Development Board's survey is not eligible for funding from the board and is ineligible for certain permits from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and the failure is a Class C misdemeanor. The board's survey covers operational facilities, not planned or under-construction ones, and is due March 1.
Sept. 14, 2026: Gov. Greg Abbott directed the Water Development Board to use its enforcement authority against data centers that did not return the survey, and to update his office by Oct. 14, 2026. His release also recounts an Aug. 3, 2026 directive for the Public Utility Commission and ERCOT to audit data centers that advance through the interconnection process.
Sept. 21, 2026: the Governor directed the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to halt all permits sought by data centers until ERCOT completes its audit, with an update due Oct. 19, and said he will work with the Legislature next session to eliminate financial incentives for data centers.
Sept. 24, 2026: Attorney General Ken Paxton announced an investigation of data center developments that have not responded to the survey, saying his office is looking at "hundreds."

How many data centers answered the state water survey? KUT reported on June 26, 2026 that 17% of data centers answered the 2025 survey, and that the number surveyed grew from 22 in 2023 to 341 in 2025, according to the Water Development Board's Temple McKinnon at a June legislative hearing. The Texas Tribune reported on Sept. 14 that as few as 28% responded over three years. These are statewide numbers, not a list of who answered. KUT · Texas Tribune

How much water is that?

Pick a number a company or agency gave in gallons a day, and compare it with everyday water use from the City of Lubbock's July 7, 2026 slide. Or type your own number.

A number from a sourceOr type gallons a dayCompare it with

Our math from the City's figures

Project Infrared: stated water use is about 0.252% of Regal Park (a Lubbock water customer).

Formula: 1,500 ÷ 595,612 = 0.0025 (0.252%)
1,500 gallons a day × 365 days = 547,500 gallons a year, if the number held every day.
For scale, 0.0041% of the City's average demand of 36,510,000 gallons a day. The City used 13.3 billion gallons in 2025.

Benchmarks are the City's average gallons per day for each customer, as shown in its July 7, 2026 deck. A company's number is not a measurement, and an "up to" supply number is a cap, not a forecast.

Common questions

How many data centers are in Texas?

No source gives a complete count. OpenStreetMap contributors have mapped 220 data center objects in Texas as of October 13, 2026, and one campus can be many objects. This page also tracks 22 announced or reported projects. The Attorney General's office said in September 2026 that it is investigating "hundreds" of developments, so the real number is larger than any list here.

Is there a data center in Lubbock?

Yes, a small one. Duos Technologies said on May 19, 2026 that its edge data center at 1634 18th Street was operational. Two larger projects are not built: Project Infrared is proposed, and a 936-acre rezoning request was withdrawn.

How much water would Project Infrared use?

Corva said it would use 1,500 gallons of water a day through a closed-loop cooling system, as KCBD reported July 30, 2026. That is the company's number, not a permit or a measurement. The City's average daily demand is 36.51 million gallons.

What is the Texas water use survey, and why did the Attorney General get involved?

The Texas Water Development Board sends an annual survey to water users, due March 1. State law makes returning it mandatory, with funding and permit consequences and a Class C misdemeanor. On Sept. 24, 2026 the Attorney General announced an investigation of data center developments that had not responded.

Does the Attorney General's county list mean those counties have a problem?

No. The announcement says data centers are under initial investigation in counties including 18 it names, and it names no facilities. The county layer on the map is for orientation only.

How do I add or correct a project?

About this data

Where it comes from: The gray dots come from OpenStreetMap. We ask it for objects in Texas tagged as data centers and drop ones tagged as disused, abandoned, proposed or under construction. OpenStreetMap does not record whether a data center is operating, so we do not say it is. The colored shapes are projects we wrote up by hand from company press releases and investor pages, city and state pages, and named news outlets. Each one lists its sources with dates.
Numbers: A number appears only if a named source said it, with who said it and when. We do not add up, convert or guess numbers. A company's number is not a permit or a meter reading.
Status and place: Status is only what a source supports. "Under construction" needs a source that says ground was broken, site work is underway, or a building has power or was delivered. Locations are approximate: a solid shape means a source describes the spot, and a dashed shape means only a town or county is known.
Limits: No one keeps one complete list of Texas data centers, and this list is not official. Company numbers change, so check the linked source. If the date on an entry is old, treat the entry as old.
Corrections: If something is wrong or missing, send us a link to a source using the form below. We check it before we change the page.
Last checked: Projects were last checked October 2, 2026. The OpenStreetMap dots reflect data as of October 13, 2026.
