Amazon plans Texas data center with 35 gas turbines and 7.65 gigawatts of onsite power

AI Market Summary
Amazon's planned Texas data center would rely on a 7.65GW onsite natural-gas plant permitted for up to 33Mt CO2 annually, raising heightened ESG, regulatory, and reputational risks that could influence investor positioning. The project underscores the power-intensity of AI/cloud buildouts and potential constraints from "self-supply" power requirements, while contrasting with Amazon's net-zero pledge amid reported growth in electricity-related emissions.

Amazon plans to build a new data center in Texas with an onsite natural-gas power plant featuring 35 turbines and up to 7.65 gigawatts of generating capacity. The project has regulatory approval to emit as much as 33 million tons of carbon dioxide per year, which would make it the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. The plan contrasts with Amazon’s role in cofounding The Climate Pledge in 2019, which targets net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. The company’s emissions tied to purchased electricity rose 34% in 2025 year over year.
