Amazon plans data center campus near Glen Rose on Vistra land beside Comanche Peak

Amazon will build a data center campus near Glen Rose, Texas, on land owned by Vistra beside the Comanche Peak nuclear plant, underscoring the deepening link between hyperscale computing and power generation. The project highlights how tech firms are increasingly siting infrastructure next to existing energy assets to secure electricity for AI and cloud workloads, with implications for local economies and grid infrastructure. Details on investment size, capacity and timelines were not disclosed in the report. The deal also reflects Vistra's push to monetize land and power resources around its generation fleet. What to watch next: the formal power supply agreement and any nuclear-backed electricity terms, plus how the campus affects ERCOT grid planning and Vistra's valuation.
