Texas Set to Overtake Virginia as U.S. Data Center Hub by 2030
Texas is on track to become the largest U.S. data center market, potentially surpassing Northern Virginia by 2030. The state already has about 6.5 GW of data center capacity under construction and is attracting major AI infrastructure investments from Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Meta. Nationwide, more than half of new data center development is leaving traditional hubs as markets like Tennessee, Ohio, Wisconsin and Texas rise. The overall pipeline could reach roughly 35 GW, underscoring Texas’s appeal due to abundant energy resources and ambitious projects in sites like Abilene and West Texas.
