ERCOT data center · https://askthegrid.com/assets/facilities/google-midlothian-data-center-building

Google operates the Midlothian Data Center Building in Texas as part of a 540-acre, five-building campus; Google invested in its first Texas data center at this location in 2019. Buildings 1–4 are completed or inspection-complete, while Building 5 is under construction as of January 2026. The facility reports 85.15 MW utility-service capacity and 51.09 MW critical IT load.

## Identity and location

- Operating status: operating
- Asset scope: building
- Location: TX
- Operator: Google (exact asset) — https://datacenters.google/locations/texas

## Power and grid context

- Utility service: 85.15 MW · operating · exact asset — Reported power capacity for the Google Midlothian facility at 3441 Railport Parkway; the source labels the facility operational, while a related public-record entry labels the project proposed.
- Critical it load: 51.09 MW · reported · exact asset — Reported IT load associated with the Google Midlothian facility; this is separate from the reported 85.15 MW power-capacity figure.
- ISO/RTO: ERCOT
- Balancing authority: ERCOT
- Electric utility: HILCO Electric Cooperative, Inc.

## Development

- Site status: Operating Google Midlothian campus with five identified buildings/phases; Buildings 1–4 are documented as completed, closed, or inspection-complete, while Building 5 is registered and under construction as of July 27, 2026.
- Site area: 540 acres
- Gross floor area: 1,288,600 square feet
- Buildings: 5
- Construction: Google's Midlothian campus comprises five identified buildings. Building 1 began construction in June 2019; Building 2 was fitted out in 2020; Building 3 was permitted for construction beginning July 2019 and has an inspection-complete record; Building 4 was scheduled for construction from April 2024 through December 2025; and Building 5 began construction on January 28, 2026, with a permit completion date of February 24, 2027. The campus therefore combines operating/completed facilities with Building 5 under construction. No commercial-operation dates were found for individual phases.

## Compute and operations

- Facility classes: hyperscale, cloud
- Operating context: Operating Google data-center building at the Google Midlothian campus. Public evidence identifies the facility and its operating company, but does not disclose building-specific compute configuration or operating details.

## Data quality

- Most evidence concerns the Google Midlothian campus, the original Sharka project, or later campus phases; it does not unambiguously isolate OpenStreetMap way/844386861 from other buildings.
- The January 2026 hearing record identifies Sharka MDN Addition and the Railport Parkway/US 67 area, but the agenda item concerned signage and development regulations rather than a uniquely identified building.
- Statewide Google water-fund reporting and general Texas data-center opposition were not treated as exact-building evidence.
- The separate Google Red Oak project and unrelated Texas data-center petitions were excluded.
- No unsupported MW, water-use, PUE, WUE, tenant, equipment, or commercial-term claims are made.
- Power values retain their reported, requested, contracted, energized, gross-campus, or critical-IT basis.
