Oracle Invests in More Than 1.7 GW of Carbon-Free Electricity to Support AI Growth and Strengthen the Texas Grid

Austin, Texas-Sep 15, 2026

Today, Oracle announced investments in wind energy generation projects delivering more than 1.7 gigawatts (GW) of carbon-free electricity in Texas. The projects supply electricity to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) grid that powers Oracle's Abilene facility, helping fuel AI growth while increasing grid resiliency and grid power affordability for schools, hospitals, businesses, and homes.

Combined, the wind energy projects are expected to generate enough electricity each year to power the equivalent of over 525,000 U.S. homes. The projects will propel Oracle toward 100 percent carbon-free electricity matching for its current AI data centers in Texas, support the state's rapidly growing AI economy, and contribute to reduced electricity emissions.

"Oracle has set a goal to match 100 percent of AI data center electricity use with carbon-free electricity by 2035," said Mahesh Thiagarajan, executive vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "This announcement marks measurable progress toward that goal and reflects our commitment to building data centers responsibly-protecting the air, water, and land in the communities where we operate, while paying our own way for the energy we use."

Supporting grid supply and sustainability

Oracle is investing in more than 1.7 GW of wind energy generation across ten projects with suppliers including Clearway Energy, ENGIE, RWE, and Scout Clean Energy. Based on expected annual generation and eGrid emissions factors, the renewable electricity generated by these projects represent an estimated avoided-emissions equivalent of 1.8 million metric tons of CO₂ each year compared to the ERCOT grid.

These projects demonstrate Oracle's deep investment in Texas and align with Oracle's goal of reaching 100 percent carbon-free electricity for Custom AI Data Centers by 2035. In partnership with local communities, Oracle continues to invest in scalable, next-generation energy solutions to support the rapid growth of AI and cloud services.
