Google–Intersect Meitner Energy Center

Gray and Roberts Counties, Texas, United StatesUnder construction

Headline capacity: Not established in published records
Updated: Oct 28, 2026

Meitner combines a Google data center under construction in Gray County with Intersect's energy development in Gray and Roberts counties. The announced more-than-1-GW wind, solar and battery figure is a mixed energy-portfolio description, not data center IT capacity. Air cooling and majority-clean day-one power are design commitments, not operating results. State records distinguish IP Meitner DTC as registered owner, Google as occupant/operator and IP Meitner Land in building filings. A signed county abatement and pending domestic-wastewater application add regulatory detail, but benefits realized, site-level financing and IT load are not established. Google's Texas-wide investment and the two-center community fund are not Meitner capital.
