SHARON AI has announced that Texas Critical Data Centers, its joint venture with New Era Energy and Digital, has retained Ramboll Data Center Facilities to lead engineering and design for the development of a large-scale artificial intelligence data center campus in Ector County near Odessa, Texas. The site spans an intended 438 acres and aims to position the Permian Basin as a hub for high-performance AI infrastructure, according to SHARON AI.
The project scope includes comprehensive site engineering, facility design, powered shell structures, and advanced electrical systems. The design will connect to both on-site power islands—initially targeting 400 MW of natural gas generation, with potential for expansion to 1 GW—and to the regional grid. Ramboll, formerly EYP Mission Critical Facilities, will provide design and engineering for these mission-critical infrastructure elements.
The joint venture reports it is integrating high-density compute platforms designed for artificial intelligence workloads. The model is intended to support both powered land and shell offerings, providing tenants with scalable, energy-resilient solutions and options for accelerated deployment timelines. The initiative will focus on meeting industry-leading operational efficiency metrics, including Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE).
Wolf Schubert, CEO of SHARON AI, said, “This engagement of Ramboll Data Center Facilities is a key milestone in accelerating our flagship AI data center campus project in West Texas, in a market that seeks access to large scale power capacity on practical time lines,”
SHARON AI is a high-performance computing company specializing in artificial intelligence and cloud graphics processing unit (GPU) infrastructure. The joint venture’s target market includes enterprise tenants seeking scalable AI compute capacity in the data center sector.
