SpaceX plans to build and operate an artificial intelligence computing center with a natural gas power plant on a 180-hectare site in Starbase, in southern Texas. The initial phases require an investment of approximately $24 billion and include up to 35 temporary turbines with a combined capacity of around 748 megawatts. Generating electricity on site is intended to reduce the company’s reliance on the local grid, following the approach already used by xAI to power its Colossus computing center in Memphis. A public hearing scheduled for December 9, 2026, will examine the tax incentives and economic development agreements associated with the project, which remains at the proposal stage.
