Data center footprints
364 Texas data center projects on 274 campuses: operating, under construction, in permitting and announced. Search any company, or filter to the 38 with three or more Texas projects, and the map shows only their sites. Free shows every location.
Local sentiment
Which counties and cities want data centers. County fill and city outline are colored by a score built from every recorded action since September 2024: abatements, zoning approvals and development agreements count for, moratoria, restrictive ordinances, denials, withdrawals after opposition and lawsuits count against. Click any county or city for its recent votes and the sources behind them.
Data center news on the map
Local and trade stories pinned to the project, town or county. Free shows the headline and link; Pro adds a short summary of each story and the projects it covers.
Every project, sourced
Developer and end user, MW, acres, capex, expected online date, utility and substation, tax abatements, local opposition, and links to the filings and news behind it.
Battery and generation queue
Every storage and generation project in the ERCOT queue, sized by MW. Click for developer, interconnection substation, study stage, IA date and projected COD. Free shows the dots and stages only.
What the grid is building
New substations, approved lines and substation upgrades, with voltage, owners, cost, ERCOT and PUCT dockets, expected in-service dates and why each one is being built. On Pro this comes through the tools, site cards and the approved lines layer; the new substation and upgrade map layers are on Enterprise.
Parcels
Appraisal district parcel shapes with property ID, acres, legal description and values. Landowner names, mailing addresses and the owner's other land nearby are on Enterprise Lite ($999 a month total, see pricing) and Enterprise.
Every pricing node
Open any ERCOT node or hub: hourly day-ahead prices, peak and off-peak, spikes, negative hours, real-time average and a daily table. Free gets one node panel a day.
Check any spot
Click anywhere in Texas: nearest substations by voltage and owner, lines within 5 miles, queue projects nearby and planned grid work within 25 miles. Free shows the likely utility and three substations, 10 clicks a day.
Air permits
TCEQ permits for generation and data centers, pending first. They show gas turbines and data center power before a project reaches the ERCOT queue or the news.
Upgrade from anywhere
On the web: the buttons on this page. In an assistant: ask "how do I upgrade Barrio Grid?" and it returns a checkout link tied to your account. Pay with Link or a card and that connection is Pro right away.
