STN builds AI data centers in the places that already power America.
We plan to be here for generations, and we want our neighbors to know exactly how we operate.
The world needs far more computing power, and all of it runs inside physical buildings that draw power, need cooling, and sit in someone’s county. Many communities have watched big projects arrive with big promises and leave them with higher bills. We understand why people ask hard questions.
Our answer is to build where energy is already the local economy, carry our own costs, bring our own cooling water, and stay long enough that our reputation here is the one that matters most.
We pay for the power our campus uses and for everything that delivers it: substation work, on-site generation, and battery storage. Our campus is built in layers, so it carries its own load and steps back from the grid when Texas needs power most.
Our campus cools with a glycol and water mixture we truck in from outside Odessa. It works like the radiator in your truck: we fill it once, and the same fluid circulates through sealed lines from then on. The only local water we use goes to restrooms and sinks for our team.
We build next to electrical infrastructure that already exists. Our Odessa campus sits beside a live high-voltage substation, so power reaches us over existing lines and open West Texas land stays open.
We build our data center buildings as complete welded-steel modules in our own factory, then deliver and assemble them on site. That means fewer construction months, fewer trucks on local roads, and quieter days for neighbors. Inspectors approve them like any other building.
We secure our land for the long haul, and that horizon shapes how we act. We hire locally first, we contribute to the local economy, and we show up at county meetings because we plan to keep showing up for decades.
We build alongside the oil and gas operations that define this region, and we plan with them in mind. Fire setbacks are engineered into our power equipment layout, and we work with county emergency management and local fire departments before construction and throughout operations.
You deserve to hear the tradeoffs from us first. Here is what a campus like ours brings to a community, and what we do about each.
Our on-site generation runs on natural gas, which produces emissions.
We operate under state air permits, use modern high-efficiency equipment, and publish our permit and monitoring results.
Generators, cooling equipment, and transformers make sound around the clock.
We model sound before we build, place equipment behind distance and barriers, monitor at our property line, and publish what we measure.
Building a campus brings trucks and crews.
Factory-built modules shorten our time on site. We stagger deliveries and share our route plan with the county before work begins.
Permian housing is already tight, and crews need places to stay.
We hire locally first and plan workforce lodging so our crews add as little pressure as possible to local rentals.
A secure campus needs lighting.
Shielded, downward-facing fixtures keep our light on our site and the West Texas night sky dark.
Each year we publish a plain-language community report and post it here. It covers the four things neighbors ask us about most.
Metered local water use, with cooling fluid delivered from outside the region
First report: Fall 2027Our demand on the grid and how we respond when Texas is running tight
First report: Fall 2027Local hiring, wages, and training pathways
First report: Fall 2027Coordination with emergency services, drills, and any incidents
First report: Fall 2027The questions neighbors ask us most about power, water, sound, jobs and safety, answered plainly.
Our plan is built to keep our costs off your bill. We pay for our own power and for the equipment that delivers it, including substation work, on-site generation, and batteries.
Our on-site generation and batteries let the campus step back from the grid when Texas needs every megawatt for homes and hospitals. That is a big part of why we built our power in layers.
Only what our team uses in restrooms and sinks, the same as any local business our size. Our cooling runs on a glycol and water mixture trucked in from outside Odessa, so cooling leaves the local supply untouched.
We truck the mixture in from outside Odessa. The loop is sealed like a car radiator, so we fill it once and the same fluid recirculates from then on.
Our cooling water comes from outside the region, so the local supply stays with the families, ranches, and businesses that rely on it.
Yes, and we say so plainly. Our on-site generation runs on natural gas. We operate under state air permits, use modern high-efficiency equipment, and publish our permit and monitoring results.
Our equipment makes sound, so we plan for it from day one. We model sound before we build, place equipment behind distance and barriers, and monitor at our property line, day and night.
We build our buildings in our own factory and assemble them on site, so our on-site construction window is far shorter than a traditional build. We share the schedule with the county before work begins.
We hire locally first. For crews from outside the area, we plan workforce lodging so they add as little pressure as possible to local rentals.
We hire locally first and work with local contractors and suppliers. The campus creates construction jobs during the build and permanent careers once it is running.
Many of our roles call for trade skills rather than a degree. Electricians, technicians, mechanics, and security staff keep a data center running, and we are building training pathways with local colleges.
Fire setbacks are engineered into our power equipment layout. We plan with county emergency management and local fire departments before we build, and we run joint drills once we operate.
Our buildings are designed to be upgraded as computing hardware changes, so the campus keeps working as the industry moves forward. We hold our land for the long term, and we plan to be here for all of it.
