US energy infrastructure developer Zenith Volts has been granted approval from the Chaves County Commission for a 300-acre data center project designed to support 1.24GW or more of power capacity. 

The entire site will span 8,500 acres and integrate advanced power solutions, including on-site solar, natural gas generators for backup, modular solar-thermal hybrid systems, a 250-acre battery energy storage system, and geothermal cooling. 

The company has said that the project will be fully operational by November 2027. It is currently in the process of engaging with technology companies, cloud service providers, and AI innovators to join as anchor partners.



There are 23 data centers in New Mexico.
