Barrio Energy has unveiled plans for two new 10MW data center developments in Matagorda County, Texas, catering to the escalating needs of modular data centers, cryptocurrency mining, and advanced computing operations. Located in the ERCOT South Zone, these sites are equipped with up to 10MW of power each, tapping into the region's robust energy resources and transmission infrastructure. This initiative underscores Barrio Energy's commitment to expanding its footprint in Texas, following its successful operations in Monahans, George West, Lolita, and Tyler.

Ivan Pinney, CEO of Barrio Energy, highlighted the strategic importance of the Matagorda County sites, stating their alignment with the company's goal to deliver scalable and efficient energy solutions. The ERCOT South Zone's infrastructure and access to abundant power make it an ideal location for next-generation computing needs. These developments not only enhance Barrio Energy's portfolio but also promise to stimulate local economic growth through job creation and technological advancements.

The first site is slated to become operational in Q4 2025, with the second site following in Q1 2026. Both locations are designed to offer tenants the flexibility to manage on-site maintenance, utilities, and improvements, ensuring a smooth integration with Barrio Energy's power facilitation services. This expansion reinforces Barrio Energy's role in connecting energy providers with high-demand users, fostering innovation in areas such as AI and blockchain.
