Google has disclosed plans to invest $40bn in Texas, US, by 2027, focusing on scaling its cloud and AI infrastructure.

The Alphabet subsidiary will establish new data centre campuses in Armstrong and Haskell Counties as part of this expansion.

The investment includes a series of power purchase agreements with energy developers, adding over 6.2 gigawatts (GW) of new energy generation and capacity to the Texas grid.

The Haskell County site will house both a data centre and an solar and battery storage facility.

Google’s strategy incorporates a $30m Energy Impact Fund, aimed at accelerating energy initiatives and supporting local energy efficiency projects.

The company said that its ongoing approach is to increase infrastructure responsibly by investing in additional energy resources, covering operational costs, and backing community energy programmes.

To address technical workforce requirements, Google is supporting the electrical training ALLIANCE to deliver training for current electrical workers and more than 1,700 apprentices across the state by 2030.

This initiative aims to more than double the projected pipeline of new electricians in Texas.

Google has operated facilities in Texas for more than15 years and links this investment to its broader approach for maintaining data infrastructure within the US.

Recently, Google Cloud launched its first sovereign cloud hub in Munich, Germany, designed to help European organisations meet data sovereignty and regulatory requirements with dedicated resources.

This new facility operates in conjunction with Google Cloud’s existing security and privacy engineering centre.

Additionally, Google announced a €5.5bn ($6.3bn) investment programme in Germany, set for 2026–2029, aimed at expanding its data centre infrastructure and office space.

The plan includes building a new data centre in Dietzenbach, continued investment in the Hanau campus, and further expansions.
