Barrio Energy's New Developments in Matagorda County
HOUSTON, Aug. 13, 2025 — Barrio Energy, renowned for its cutting-edge energy infrastructure solutions for high-performance computing and data centers, has recently disclosed plans for two new 10MW data center facilities in Matagorda County, Texas. These strategic sites are poised to meet the rapidly growing demand for modular data centers, particularly catering to sectors like cryptocurrency mining and advanced computing operations.
Both sites, located in the ERCOT South Zone, have confirmed availability of up to 10MW of power each, significantly boosting Barrio Energy's operational capacities in the state. This announcement underlines the company's ongoing expansion efforts in Texas, complementing its existing sites in Monahans, George West, Lolita, and Tyler.
According to Ivan Pinney, CEO of Barrio Energy, the development of these two high-potential sites aligns perfectly with the company's mission to provide scalable and efficient energy solutions tailored to the needs of its clients. "The ERCOT South Zone is equipped with a robust infrastructure and access to abundant energy resources, making it an ideal location for fostering next-generation computing technologies," remarked Pinney.
Economic Impact and Operational Timeline
The plans for these data centers are set to further stimulate local economic growth through job creation and the advancement of technological innovation in the area. The first site is scheduled to kick off operations in the last quarter of 2025, with the second site expected to become operational in the first quarter of 2026. Both centers will feature provisions that enable tenants to manage on-site maintenance, utilities, and necessary improvements. This ensures a seamless integration of operations with Barrio Energy's extensive power facilitation services.
Moreover, these developments significantly augment Barrio Energy's existing footprint across Texas, reinforcing its commitment to bridging the gap between energy providers and high-demand consumers. With the increasing demand for digital services and applications, including AI and blockchain, the company is well-prepared to address the evolving landscape of digital needs.
Future Prospects
As Barrio Energy continues to lead in energy solutions designed for high-performance computing, the two new data centers in Matagorda County reflect a forward-thinking approach that addresses both current and anticipated market demands. With robust infrastructure and strategic positioning, these sites are expected to play a critical role in the company's growth trajectory and its efforts to empower clients within the digital economy.
