AWS Somervell County Data Center Project

The Amazon AWS Somervell County record is a proposed hyperscale data-center project near Glen Rose, Texas. TYPE3’s map data assigns Amazon Web Services as operator, marks the site announced, gives no power value, and places the map point in Somervell County. Its notes identify a large campus near the Comanche Peak nuclear plant but do not supply a completed project scope or capacity figure.

Data Center Dynamics reported in February 2026 that Amazon was looking to develop a campus on Vistra property adjacent to the Comanche Peak plant. The proposal was subject to finalized lease terms. The report said a tax-abatement application described a possible project of up to 18 two-story buildings across approximately 435 acres, with about $5 billion invested. These are proposal and application details, not evidence that all buildings are approved, funded, constructed, energized, or operating.

The Somervell County and Comanche Peak modifiers distinguish this record from the nearby Hood County 2300 Coates Road Project Spectrum entry. Proximity to a nuclear plant does not establish the data center’s electrical supply, interconnection, generation ownership, or IT load. The reported $5 billion is an application figure, not a guaranteed project cost, and acreage or building count does not establish capacity. Until a finalized lease, county agreement, tax-abatement approval, utility filing, or Amazon announcement appears, the evidence supports a proposed campus.
