Google Meitner Energy Center data center (Gray and Roberts counties)
Under construction
United States · 1 project · Last reported
Summary
Google data center being built alongside new dedicated generation at the Meitner Energy Center in Gray and Roberts counties in the Texas Panhandle; Google's location list shows a Pampa site in development. Google and Intersect, the energy developer Google closed on buying in March 2026, announced construction on 4 June 2026. The complex pairs the data center with more than 1 GW of wind, solar and battery storage, and on-site gas firming covers a minority of demand. The data center is designed for air cooling. Google has not disclosed the compute load, cost or opening date. An 800-acre Caprock Workforce Hub in Wheeler County is planned to house up to 3,500 workers.

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
Evidence
Sources are linked, not redistributed; each keeps its own terms. An archived copy is a lookup for the Wayback Machine capture nearest the retrieval date and may be unavailable or differ from what was reviewed. Each hash states what it covers; imported factual records are not publisher-page captures.
