West Texas Panhandle Site Offers 500 MW Behind-the-Meter Ramp by 2026, 345 kV Access, and Gas-Fired Expansion—Positioning Texas as the Global Epicenter for AI Data Center Development
DALLAS, June 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A multiple gigawatt (GW) 5,000-acre West Texas Panhandle campus listed by Roxanne Marquis of 8888CRE offers three independent power lanes: a 250 megawatt (MW) behind-the-meter ramp by mid-2026, a 250 MW wind offtake the same year, and a high-pressure gas line that can fuel an extra 500 MW of onsite generation inside 12 months with a possible ramp up to 1GW over 2 years. With its own 345 kV frontage—and the ability to loop straight into the SPP grid—the site arrives just as Texas races to lock down multi-gigawatt blocks for next-gen AI data-center builds. (Wind-offtake open until July 2025; first gas-turbine slots lock Aug 2025.) Developers may request the full data-room package from broker Roxanne Marquis, +1-972-805-7587.
Texas is on pace to add several new AI–ready data–center loads as Damac, Google, Nvidia, OpenAI and other global players funnel record capital into the state's power–rich corridors, according to recent company filings and ERCOT interconnection queues.
Key Features
"As AI workloads double and infrastructure demand surges across Texas, developers need sites that deliver real-world capacity day one," said Marquis. "This Panhandle campus removes the biggest barrier—power—so projects can break ground immediately and scale seamlessly."
FEATURED TEXAS LAND PORTFOLIO: SITES FOR HYPERSCALE, AI & CRYPTO (8888CRE) From 82 acres in West Texas—ideal for a edge or modular AI deployment—to a power-rich 5,000-acre Panhandle tract with 345 kV transmission frontage, 8888CRE's current listings span every scale of digital-infrastructure demand. In the Dallas–Fort Worth metro, we control a 1 GW ground-lease opportunity subdivided into four 250 MW blocks scheduled to energize in 2028, plus a strategic 1,500-acre parcel positioned for hyperscale campus development or phased colocation expansion that is seeking a JV partner or developer take down. For crypto or AI training workloads, an 88-acre site between Waco's Space X and Austin offers substation adjacency while being outside of city jurisdiction for ease of development. Whether you're seeking turnkey power, long-term scalability, or a partnership structure that aligns capital with growth, Roxanne Marquis and 8888CRE deliver the sites—and collaborates on the utility pathways—to fast-track your next data center project in Texas.
