– Energy Capital Partners (ECP) and KKR announced a new 190 MW hyperscale data center campus in Bosque County, Texas.
– This marks the first investment under their $50 billion strategic partnership to support AI infrastructure growth in the U.S.
– The project introduces a new model for delivering integrated, AI-ready infrastructure by combining digital capacity with 24/7 dedicated power.
– The Bosque campus is positioned in one of the fastest-growing compute corridors in the country.
– It will serve as a blueprint for future deployments to meet hyperscaler demands and support grid stability.
– Power will be redirected from Calpine to help meet local demand during grid scarcity.
– The campus is being built through a joint venture between ECP and CyrusOne, a global data center operator.
– The multiphase campus will exceed 700,000 square feet and deliver an initial IT capacity of 144 MW.
– Designed for rapid expansion, the total investment is expected to approach $4 billion.
– Located next to Calpine’s Thad Hill Energy Center, the site benefits from reliable natural gas generation.
– Calpine will provide dedicated long-term power through a secured contract.
ECP and KKR aim to offer fully integrated, scaled power infrastructure and data center solutions for hyperscalers.
– “This first investment through our strategic partnership combines ECP’s power expertise to deliver reliable near-term power with KKR’s strong track record in investing in data center development,” said Tyler Reeder, President of ECP. “With ample capital, a broad existing asset base, and deep sector relationships, our strategic partnership is designed to source and deliver fully integrated, scaled power infrastructure and data center solutions for hyperscalers and other market participants to support their infrastructure needs.”
– “The surge in AI demand isn’t just stretching infrastructure — it’s rewriting the blueprint for how it needs to be built,” said Waldemar Szlezak, Partner and Global Head of Digital Infrastructure at KKR. “Hyperscalers need more than capacity; they need certainty, integration, and speed. This project is a reflection of that new reality: bringing together scalable land, power, and compute under a single, coordinated strategy. It is the kind of solution we believe will define the future of infrastructure—and it’s just the beginning of what’s possible when you combine deep operational expertise with long-term industrial vision.”
– The new CyrusOne campus will feature climate-neutral design, water conservation, biodiversity protection, and emergency response capabilities during ERCOT grid events.
– Construction is underway, with operations expected to begin in Q4 2026.
