Meta El Paso AI Data Center Campus
Overview
Meta’s El Paso campus is a large AI-optimized data-center project in Northeast El Paso. TYPE3’s map data places it at US-54 and Stan Roberts Sr. Avenue and marks it announced with zero MW. Meta’s public materials now describe the campus as under construction, with a planned 1 GW of compute capacity and capacity expected to begin coming online in 2028. Meta also describes a multibillion-dollar investment and a long-term campus venture with BlackRock, Global Infrastructure Partners, and HPS.
City of El Paso materials provide the local project context. They identify the development as filed under Wurldwide LLC, describe an approximately 1,000-acre site, and say the project potentially consists of five construction phases north of Stan Roberts Sr. Avenue and west of US-54. Meta’s official information sheet gives an initial investment figure of more than $1.5 billion and approximately 100 operational jobs, while later corporate materials describe a larger campus financing and development scope. Those figures remain dated and attributed rather than combined into one total.
The technical boundary is compute capacity versus energized load. Meta’s 1 GW statement is a planned campus target; it does not establish that 1 GW is operating today or that any specific phase can participate in demand response. The campus is under construction, the 2028 online target remains relevant, and current MW stays unknown unless an operational source is added. Wurldwide LLC is retained as the filing-name alias while Meta remains the public operator brand.

This state sits outside ERCOT and outside the survey. Sponsoring one funds the work of charting it — pulling its interconnection queue, large loads, and price data onto the map.
