Belltown Power Texas, a renewable energy developer, has announced plans to build six new data center locations across the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) metroplex, supported by a total load request of 1,435 megawatts. Strategically situated near key transmission hubs, the new data center sites are positioned to offer fast interconnection options and scalability, particularly for hyperscale and AI-focused businesses seeking reliable, rapid-access power solutions.
With over eight years of experience in developing utility-scale solar and battery storage projects in North Texas – where more than three gigawatts are either operational or under construction – Belltown Power Texas would bring a strong understanding of grid capacities and optimal siting for critical infrastructure. This expertise, combined with detailed knowledge of the ERCOT grid system, gives the company a notable advantage in identifying high-potential data center locations.
Solar Storage Integration Elevating Data Center Development
Jeffrey Clay, co-founder of Belltown Power Texas, emphasized the synergy between the company’s renewable energy operations and its data center ambitions. “We believe that our work in solar and battery energy storage will complement our data center projects, and vice versa. Our deep knowledge of the grid and regional development landscape allows us to deliver efficient, high-quality data center solutions.”
Currently, one of the six planned projects, a 15 MW facility, has secured committed utility capacity. The remaining sites are undergoing active evaluation phases with regional utilities. Belltown Power’s expansion into the data center sector reflects a natural evolution of its renewable energy mission, leveraging its energy expertise to support the next wave of digital infrastructure growth.
