Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) said Thursday that Google and Intersect plan to build the Meitner Energy Center, which includes a new data center co-located with more than a gigawatt of wind, solar, and battery storage systems in Gray and Roberts Counties, Texas.

The data center will join Google's global network that powers services such as Search, Gmail, Maps, and Cloud.

Google and Intersect said they will work to ensure that infrastructure costs are not passed on to local families, though the project requires substantial new energy and data center investment in the region.
