Google is planning to invest some $40 billion in expanding its cloud and AI infrastructure in Texas through 2027.

In a LinkedIn post, Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, revealed that the company would expand its existing data center campuses in Ellis County and had three new campuses planned in Armstrong and Haskell Counties.

Ellis County sits just south of Dallas, where Google has long operated, and revealed plans to invest $1bn in expanding the campus in August 2024.

Google first built a data center in the Midlothian area of Dallas in 2019, and has since expanded the campus several times, including filing plans to develop a fourth building at the site in 2024.

Google launched a Texas cloud region in Dallas in June 2022.

The company is also developing a second Texas campus in the Red Oak area of Dallas, also in Ellis County. How much of the newly announced $40bn commitment will go towards the Ellis County campuses has not been stated.

Armstrong County, meanwhile, sits to the southeast of Amarillo in north Texas, while Haskell County is located between Armstrong and Ellis Counties, some 200 miles from both.

Two campuses will be developed in Haskell County and one in Armstrong County. One of the Haskell sites will be colocated with a solar and battery energy storage plant. Details, including size, exact location, IT capacity, and construction timelines, were not included.

Neither Haskell nor Armstrong County has a large existing data center market, though Amarillo is currently slated for Femi's Project Matador, which claims it will be an 11GW data center campus. The campus has yet to begin construction or secure any customers.

As part of Google's investment in Texas, the company is putting $30 million toward an Energy Impact Fund to help "scale and accelerate energy initiatives," and will sign some 6.2GW in power purchase agreements. The company has previously signed multiple PPAs in Texas, including agreements with Elawan Energy and X-Elio for a combined 165MW solar capacity, and another with SB Energy.

Google has previously signed an agreement with Intersect Power for the development of colocated data centers with renewable power and storage technologies in the US. In March 2025, Intersect was said to be in talks with data center firms for the development of two gigawatt-scale campuses in Texas.

Elsewhere in Texas, and seemingly separate from the $40bn commitment, Google is backing the TeraWulf joint venture with Fluidstack that plans a data center in Abernathy, Texas.

The Texas investment is the latest in Google's spending spree. Earlier this month, it revealed it would invest $6.38bn in building out its footprint in Germany, and October saw the cloud giant confirming a $9bn investment in South Carolina, $4bn in Arkansas, $5.8bn in Belgium, and $15bn in Andhra Pradesh, India. During the company's latest earnings call, Google increased its full-year capex expectations to between $91-93 bn.
