Dow Jones

By Kelly Cloonan

Meta plans to invest more than $1.5 billion to build a data center in Texas to support its growing artificial intelligence workload.

The social-media company said Wednesday that the El Paso, Texas, data center will be able to scale to one gigawatt.

The data center is designed to have systems that can support both traditional servers and future generations of AI-enabled hardware, the company said.

The data center will support 1,800 construction jobs at its peak and create around 100 operational jobs once complete, the company said.

When completed, Meta will have 29 data centers, including 3 in Texas.
