PACE Advances West Texas AI Infrastructure Campus with 100 MW Phase I and Scalable Path to 1 GW

West Texas, April 20, 2026

PACE today announced continued advancement of The Lone Star Project, its West Texas AI infrastructure campus, with Phase I planned at 100 MW and a scalable path to 1 GW. The project is being developed around a behind-the-meter energy strategy designed to support large-scale compute demand with speed, flexibility, and long-term expansion capacity.

The campus benefits from secured land, water solutions, and term-sheeted natural gas arrangements with development partners, creating a strong foundation for phased deployment. The site also sits on redundant fiber lines, strengthening its appeal for hyperscale, AI, and high-performance computing users seeking resilient, energy-forward locations.

"Compute demand is moving faster than traditional infrastructure delivery timelines," said Preston Stein, Co-Founder of PACE. "We are building around that reality from day one, with a site and strategy designed to move at the pace the market now requires."

Chance Pressley, Co-Founder of PACE, added: "This is not a speculative vision without substance underneath it. We have assembled the key ingredients that matter most, including site control, water, and substantial behind-the-meter gas positioning, and we are building with scale in mind from the outset."

PACE expects Phase I to serve as the foundation for broader campus expansion as market demand and infrastructure timelines permit, including future grid interconnectivity as ERCOT timelines allow.
