Stargate Abilene
AI data center in Abilene, Texas, operated by Oracle (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure).
OpenAI's first Stargate campus, built by Crusoe and leased to Oracle, which runs it for OpenAI. Eight buildings on one site; Oracle said in September 2026 that six buildings (618 MW) had been handed over.
Power: what each source says
About 1.2 GW planned for the 8-building campus. Oracle, 2026-09-10 earnings call: 6 of 8 buildings delivered, 618 MW, 75% of total capacity (implies ~824 MW IT at full build). Epoch AI estimates all 8 buildings operational, 824 MW IT, as of 2026-11-01 (estimate, not company-confirmed). A planned ~600 MW Oracle/OpenAI expansion was dropped in March 2026 (Bloomberg); that land went to the separate Crusoe-Microsoft campus.
Figures labelled Epoch AI are estimates from satellite imagery, permits and filings. Company figures come from the operator, owner or its filings. IT power is what the servers draw; in Epoch AI’s figures for these campuses it runs about 15–35% below total facility power.
