Google Project Rise 1A — Vernon, Texas

Project Rise 1A is a large registered data-center project on FM 2897 S in Vernon, Wilbarger County. The TDLR record identifies a new data center with associated mechanical and electrical yards, fire lanes, security entrance, and utilities. It lists 991,000 square feet, an estimated $500 million cost, a submitted start date of March 31, 2026, and a submitted completion date of March 31, 2028. The owner shown is Planton Investments LLC, with a Mountain View address associated with Google’s headquarters.

Google separately announced a new Wilbarger County data center co-located with AES clean power in February 2026. That announcement establishes the broader Google/AES development, but it does not name the Rise 1A phase or disclose its IT load. Data Center Dynamics links Rise 1A and a sibling Rise 2A to Google through the filing entities and address. That attribution is sourced reporting, not a direct Google statement about the phase name.

The evidence establishes the registered scope, location, and submitted timeline. TDLR registration and a construction schedule do not prove that the building is energized, operating, or consuming the full area’s eventual power. Square footage, project cost, and the separate AES generation plan do not provide an MW estimate. Rise 1A is a distinct phase within the broader Wilbarger development, and its capacity is undisclosed.
