Google is constructing a new AI data center campus in Wilbarger County, Texas, engineered to use zero water for cooling operations. The facility employs advanced air-cooling technology in place of traditional evaporative systems, limiting water consumption exclusively to non-technical campus operations such as staff kitchens and restrooms. The project is part of Google’s broader $40 billion two-year Texas investment commitment and includes a co-located clean energy generation partnership with AES Corp., contracted for 7,800 MW of new power added to the Texas grid. Google has further committed to replenishing more water to the surrounding region than the campus consumes — establishing a net water-positive footprint in a water-stressed state.
