New AI Data Center Planned For Hood County

Big Digital Energy and 10NetZero announced a joint venture to develop a new AI data center on a 50-acre site in Hood County, Texas, with plans to expand power capacity up to 311 MW, subject to ERCOT approvals. This development comes amidst significant statewide backlash against data centers, with Texas Governor Greg Abbott calling for new limits on rural data center projects and directing regulators to ensure they cover their own costs. Hood County commissioners have previously rejected a data center moratorium despite ongoing local opposition to such projects.
