PowerHouse Data Centers has filed plans for a 300-megawatt campus in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, according to Data Center Dynamics. The filing marks a formal step toward construction in one of the most active data center markets in the United States. No financial terms or timeline were disclosed in the initial filing.
A 300 MW campus filing in the Dallas-Fort Worth region adds to the mounting power demand pressure on ERCOT, a grid already under scrutiny from the Texas governor's audit of data center projects. The project's progress will be watched as a test of whether large builds can advance through Texas's new oversight process.
Named company PowerHouse, capacity figure of 300 MW, and specific market of Dallas-Fort Worth triggered selection. The Texas regulatory context following the governor's audit made this story newsworthy beyond a standard construction filing.
