Plans for major data centre projects, including a 1.5 gigawatt expansion in Muskogee, Oklahoma, and a larger expansion in Pecos, Texas, are contingent on the financing. Additionally, potential infrastructure partnerships with AMD could provide up to 2.5 gigawatts of data center capacity for high-performance computing and AI applications.
