CleanSpark Signs Brazoria County Deal for Up to 600 MW of AI Data Center Capacity

The move targets scarce transmission-level power, with closing targeted for the first quarter pending utility and property approvals.

Overview

  • The definitive agreement covers up to 447 acres in Brazoria County and a long-term transmission facilities extension enabling 300 MW initially, expandable to 600 MW.
  • It is CleanSpark’s second development in greater Houston, combining with an Austin County site to exceed 890 MW of potential regional capacity.
  • The company plans large-scale, next-generation data center campuses designed for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing workloads.
  • Management highlights clustered, transmission-level access as a differentiator for multi-campus deployments, positioning the area as a scalable compute hub.
  • CLSK shares rose about 6% to roughly $13.34 following the announcement, which remains contingent on required approvals with closing expected in Q1 2026.
