A development proposal would bring a 5,220-megawatt data center campus to San Antonio, Texas, making it one of the largest single campus power loads announced in the United States. Details on the developer and financing structure were not fully disclosed in the announcement. If built, the campus would place extraordinary new demand on the Texas grid, which is already managing rapid data center load growth under new state vetting rules.
A 5,220-megawatt figure is among the largest campus-level power loads ever proposed in the US; for context, most large campuses operate in the hundreds of megawatts. The proposal tests whether Texas grid regulators can absorb projects of this scale under their new data center interconnection vetting process.
Specific power figure of 5,220 megawatts and named city San Antonio triggered selection. The sheer scale of the proposed load ranked this above other construction announcements with smaller or unspecified capacity figures.
