Alphabet’s Google is investing $40 billion to build new data centers in two Texas counties.
The announcement, made Friday, said one of the new data centers will be in Armstrong County, in the Texas Panhandle, and the other two in Haskell County, a stretch of West Texas near Abilene.
“This investment will create thousands of jobs, provide skills training to college students and electrical apprentices, and accelerate energy affordability initiatives throughout Texas,” Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said in a statement obtained by Reuters.
Google has been in the Lone Star State for 15 years, and the investment, which will be made through 2027, underscores the intensifying competition among artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud service providers to build infrastructure capable of supporting advanced AI models.
