As part of the agreement, Liberty Energy subsidiary Liberty Power Innovations will design, develop and operate scalable, modular power generation architecture for the data center.
The JV is expected to support the development of PowerBridge’s Alpha Digital Campus, a planned 2GW powered campus in West Texas. The initial phase of the data center is expected to consist of 300MW of generation capacity, with the option to expand over time. First power at the site is expected in Q4 of 2027, with deployment continuing through the first half of 2028. It is unclear what form of generation will power the campus. DCD has reached out for further information.
The project was announced in April, and is slated to be sited on 3,400 acres in Reeves County, Texas.
