Large AI data center campuses are increasingly planning dedicated or accelerated power arrangements to support high-density computing.
Microsoft and Chevron’s Project Kilby in West Texas is the clearest development, pairing a planned 2.67-gigawatt natural gas facility with a Microsoft campus and targeting first power in 2028. Other projects, including OpenAI’s proposed Georgia campus and Hyperscale Data’s Michigan site, show that electricity capacity, water use, permitting, local transparency, and customer commitments remain important conditions for expansion.

The biggest update is that Project Kilby has moved from a general power-planning story to a more concrete timeline: Chevron now expects a final investment decision by year-end and first power in 2028. The Georgia and Michigan projects also picked up sharper near-term execution and oversight details, including review of OpenAI’s campus conditions and prospective leasing in Michigan.

The story has broadened from a single West Texas gas-power project into a larger comparison of two major AI infrastructure buildouts: OpenAI’s Project Camellia in Georgia and Microsoft/Chevron’s Project Kilby in Texas. The new version adds significant regulatory and community controversy around Camellia, while also reframing Kilby as one example of a broader pattern of dedicated power, cooling, and water-management commitments for AI campuses.
