Few details are available at this time, but Axiom reports plans for the campus have been filed through an affiliate known as Laidley, LLC, and is known as “Project Sucre.” Citing a public notice, Axiom suggests Meta is targeting more than 2,250 acres of agricultural land off Highway 183 and Thomas Road.
And Sucré is not even the biggest. OpenAI is partnering with Oracle, Softbank, Microsoft and others on the Stargate project, which they say will be a $500 billion, multi-site datacenter expansion, beginning with Abilene, Texas.
To power racks lined with thousands of Nvidia H100 GPUs, Sucre will require 2.23 gigawatts of 24/7 electricity (enough to power more than 2 million homes), which utility company Entergy will provide via twin high-efficiency natural gas turbines at a capital cost of $3.2 billion.
