NEWS ROUNDUP

DEVELOPMENT: CleanSpark signs land and power deal for up to 600MW capacity in Texas. CleanSpark has entered a definitive agreement to acquire up to 447 acres in Brazoria County, Texas, positioning the company to develop a large-scale data center site with transmission-level power supporting an initial 300MW load and potential expansion to 600MW. Matt Schultz, CEO and Chairman of CleanSpark, said constrained access to transmission-level power is driving the strategy to secure scalable, “AI-native” compute infrastructure, while Jeff Thomas, SVP of AI Data Centers, said the addition brings the company close to a gigawatt of potential capacity in the greater Houston region when combined with its existing Austin County initiative.

DEVELOPMENT: Hood County approves 2,100-acre data center proposal. Hood County commissioners voted 4–1 to grant conditional approval for a roughly 2,100-acre data center-focused development proposed by Sailfish, requiring the company to submit a more detailed plan within 45 days covering drainage, wastewater, landscape impact, and power generation;

DEVELOPMENT: EdgeConneX buys 180 acres for data center development. EdgeConneX has acquired a 180-acre parcel in Bastrop County, Texas, near one of its in-development data center projects. The parcel was sold last November to an EdgeConneX affiliate via a special warranty deed, and its intended use hasn’t been confirmed.

DEVELOPMENT: TECfusions’ data center gets first tenant. TECfusions said TensorWave will be the first tenant at its Upper Burrell site on the former Alcoa R&D campus, launching with an initial 10MW AI infrastructure deployment and a stated multi-phase plan to scale to 1GW. Melissa Farney, a TECfusions spokesperson, described TensorWave as a “neocloud” that builds AI clusters for training and inference, noting the company is also expanding at TECfusions’ Tucson facility. Simon Tusha, founder of TECfusions, said the deployment will enable large-scale AMD rollouts within months.
