Overview

• Meta is breaking ground on its 29th data center globally, the company’s third facility in Texas.
• The El Paso campus is planned to scale to 1 gigawatt, placing it among the largest U.S. data center projects.
• Meta projects about 100 permanent roles once operational and more than 1,800 workers at peak construction.
• The facility will match its power use with 100% renewable energy, use closed-loop liquid cooling, and restore twice the water it consumes to local watersheds.
• Meta is funding the current phase with $1.5 billion of its own capital, following a separate $29 billion off-balance-sheet deal for a Louisiana campus; local officials cite grid strength, workforce, a gubernatorial referral, and tax incentives in the site selection.
