Data centers in Bosque County, TX
Everything on file with the regulator, added up. Every figure links to the filing it came from.
1 permitted facilities.
These facilities hold active air permits in EPA's national registry. Groundwork has not yet read TX's permit documents, so generator counts and permitted emissions show as pending here — unlike Virginia, where every figure is read from the permit itself.
What this does — and doesn't — mean.
These are emergency backup generators. They are permitted to run during grid outages and for routine testing — typically tens of hours a year, not continuously. A permit is a ceiling on what a site may emit, not a measurement of what it does emit.
A permit also is not a building. An issued permit establishes approval; it does not establish that anything is built, energised or running.
No single permit discloses the total permitted in this county. That number exists only because 1 separately-published filings were added together. Each one, read alone, looks routine.

1 operator of record.
Texas publishes no data-center-specific permit list, so Groundwork drives TCEQ’s New Source Review permit search directly, one operator at a time. That gives facility-level coverage with permit counts and addresses — but TCEQ’s searchable record carries no emission rates or equipment counts, so those stay pending here in a way they are not in Virginia.
- TCEQ New Source Review permit search — in use. An interactive application rather than a dataset: it serves a 404 to automated clients, its submit control cannot be posted directly, and its HTML results grid is malformed. Groundwork drives it in a real browser and reads its pipe-delimited text output. Querying by permit holder is noisy in Texas — a search for one data center operator returns hundreds of that name’s oil and gas sites — so a record is published only when the holder is a known operator and nothing in it signals another industry.
- ERCOT large-load interconnection queue — unusable for local data. The queue holding the roughly 1,800 projects paused by the governor in August 2026 is published only as a statewide aggregate, largely as chart images in a monthly PDF. It carries no county breakdown, so it cannot answer a question about a specific place.
- TCEQ Point Source Emissions Inventory, RY2024 — data centers essentially absent. A 53MB site-level inventory covering roughly 2,000 large industrial sites. Searching it for the major data center operators returns almost nothing — two mentions of Microsoft, two of Equinix, one of CyrusOne, and none at all for Amazon, Vantage, Digital Realty or QTS. Data center backup generators appear to fall below its reporting thresholds or to be authorised under standard permits that generate no entry.
