Google and Intersect are announcing construction of the Meitner Energy Center, which includes a new data center co-located with new energy generation in Gray and Roberts Counties, Texas. Co-location means the data center will come online alongside dedicated clean power that will help meet its demand while reducing the need for new power supply on the local grid.

This investment is built on a commitment to deliver data centers the right way, through responsibly increasing local energy capacity, using air cooling to limit water consumption, and supporting thousands of jobs in the region. The data center will join Google’s global network that powers services people and businesses rely on every day, including Search, Gmail, Maps, Cloud, online banking and 911 systems.
