Google Unveils $40 Billion Texas Investment to Expand AI and Cloud Infrastructure with Renewable Energy and Workforce Development

Google’s presence in Texas spans over 15 years, and today the company is announcing a new $40 billion investment in the state through 2027. This major commitment will expand Google’s cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure, including the development of new data center campuses in Armstrong and Haskell Counties. The investment reflects Google’s ongoing commitment to responsibly scaling its operations in Texas. The company will support the state’s energy grid by bringing new renewable energy resources online, covering the costs associated with its infrastructure, and advancing community energy efficiency programs. As part of this effort, Google is launching a $30 million Energy Impact Fund to accelerate and scale clean energy initiatives across Texas. The company is also securing more than 6,200 megawatts of new energy generation through power purchase agreements with local energy developers. One of the new data centers in Haskell County will be built in conjunction with a dedicated solar farm and battery storage facility, helping to power operations with clean, reliable energy. To support the growing demand for skilled labor, Google is partnering with the Electrical Training Alliance to train existing electricians and prepare more than 1,700 apprentices by 2030—more than doubling the projected number of new electricians in the state. This latest investment is designed to strengthen Texas’ workforce, modernize its infrastructure, and ensure the United States maintains the technological foundation needed to lead in the global AI race.
