Google plans to invest $40 billion to build three data centers in Texas.

On November 15th, Google officially announced a major investment plan to invest up to $40 billion in Texas, USA, to build three large data centers.

This aims to further enhance its infrastructure capabilities in artificial intelligence and cloud computing, addressing increasingly fierce competition from tech companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic PBC in the AI field. According to the plan, this strategic investment will continue until 2027.

One data center will be located in Armstrong County, and the other two in Haskell County. Notably, the facility in Haskell County will incorporate renewable energy applications, working in conjunction with local solar power plants and battery storage systems, demonstrating Google's strong commitment to sustainable energy use and green development while expanding its computing power.

Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai stated that the project is expected to create thousands of jobs during the construction and operation phases, and will also help improve the skills of local talent by partnering with local educational institutions to provide professional technical training for college students and electrical apprentices.

Furthermore, this investment will drive the implementation of energy affordability projects in Texas, further optimize the region's energy mix, and bring long-term economic and environmental benefits to the community.
