Jacobs

Hut 8 awarded Jacobs a sole-source EPCM contract to deliver its Beacon Point AI data center campus in Nueces County, Texas. The multi-phase campus is designed to support 1 gigawatt of total capacity. This is Jacobs' second EPCM role for Hut 8, following the River Bend campus in Louisiana. Jacobs will deploy its digital twin technology to de-risk commissioning, with initial energization targeted for 2027. Hut 8 has secured an interconnection agreement for the full utility capacity with potential for campus expansion. GCs, MEP subs, and commissioning vendors should track phased delivery timelines.

Jacobs secured a sole-source EPCM contract for Hut 8's planned Beacon Point AI data center campus in Nueces County, Texas, designed to support up to 1 GW of utility capacity. The award extends a partnership established after Jacobs was named EPCM lead for Hut 8's River Bend campus in Louisiana. The phased campus project reflects escalating hyperscale AI infrastructure demands and evolving ERCOT grid rules. Jacobs will lead engineering, procurement, and construction management for the facility. Subcontractors and vendors in power infrastructure, cooling, and large-scale data center construction should target this major GW-scale opportunity in Texas.
