Alphabet’s Google said on Friday it would invest $40 billion in three new data centers in Texas through 2027, as the company accelerates efforts to expand capacity for supporting its artificial intelligence ambitions.

Technology giants, including Alphabet, Microsoft and Meta Platforms have been pouring unprecedented sums into infrastructure to secure computing power and energy capacity needed to sustain the AI boom.

One of the data centers will be in Armstrong County, in the Texas panhandle, and the other two in Haskell County, a stretch of West Texas near Abilene, Google said in a statement.
