The BBT Midland Data Center is a small colocation facility at 2909 Wright Drive in Midland, Texas, built by converting two existing buildings. BBT, formerly Big Bend Telephone, opened it as its first data center, and a January 2022 announcement described it as open and serving customers. The initial phase delivered 1 MW across 88 racks, and the master plan is 5 MW of critical power across 440 racks. No utility interconnection rating is published.
