Texas Critical Data Centers LLC (TCDC), a 50/50 joint venture between SHARON AI and New Era Energy and Digital, has announced the acquisition of an additional 203 contiguous acres for its planned 1 gigawatt (GW) data center campus in West Texas. This expansion brings the total development footprint to 438 acres, and, according to TCDC, will support multi-phase deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure aimed at hyperscale cloud providers, AI labs, and large enterprises requiring gigascale compute capacity.

TCDC reports it expects to close the land acquisition within the next 30 days and is currently progressing on engineering and master site planning, power interconnection studies, grid applications, and site civil development. The company aims to prepare the site for phase one construction slated for 2026.

The operational plan includes optional models such as recurring revenue from long-term data center leases, energy sales, powered land or shell transactions, and other commercial structures to allow participation from major customers.

Wolf Schubert, CEO of SHARON AI, stated, “We are pleased to expand the campus to 438 acres, taking another major step towards creating gigascale AI factory infrastructure designed for hyperscale, AI labs and large enterprise customers.”

SHARON AI, based in Australia, is a high-performance computing company focused on artificial intelligence and cloud GPU compute infrastructure. Its platform is designed to accelerate AI factory builds and sovereign AI solutions, with applications across data center deployments.
