Researched with AI assistance, checked by scripts. These rows were researched by AI agents reading public operator, laboratory and vendor sources, appended by scripts and checked by automated validation; no subject-matter expert has reviewed them (how this site is made). A mechanical second-reader pass has since fetched every cited source: 1350 of 1540 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 64 are genuinely weakly sourced. Every claim carries its source and a confidence tier. Treat anything below verified as a lead, not a citation.

What this machine is made of
One row per supplier relationship. “Supplier at build” is the company that shipped the part at the time; where that company has since been acquired, the parent it rolls up to today is shown beside it. That distinction is what makes ticker-level aggregation possible across a thirty-year dataset.

The read
Kaufman & Company's 15 billion dollar campus of geodesic-dome data centers on roughly 24,000 acres of former ranch and oil land in Hudspeth County, Texas, about 28 miles east of El Paso, where ground was broken on 7 October 2026. Baxtel reports 350 MW planned, citing ServerDomes Global's website, with the first 80 MW running 16 months after construction starts; Kaufman said in July that phase one already has unnamed tenants and that up to ten more domes could follow over a decade. The domes are described as built for AI workloads, cooled by natural convection backed by hybrid air, direct-liquid and immersion cooling, with up to 90 percent of power from behind-the-meter sources including planned geothermal and solar; the site is in Rio Grande Electric Cooperative territory on the WECC grid, not ERCOT. County officials told local media they were not told before work began, and no state permit filings had surfaced. No accelerator vendor or count is stated.
