SpaceX plans a roughly $24 billion power plant and computing facility at Starbase in South Texas, Reuters reported. The proposed Texas site is in Cameron County, far from Comal County.
Starbase is scheduled to consider proposed tax agreements on Dec. 9, The Texas Tribune reported. That hearing is the next public checkpoint for the Texas proposal; the agreements remain proposed.

The Texas proposal
The Texas Tribune reported Nov. 10 that the Starbase proposal pairs a data center with a power plant. Reuters first reported the plan. The figure describes the reported project investment, not a cost assigned to Comal County residents.
The reported plan centers on generating power and running computing facilities at Starbase. The proposed tax agreements are a separate city decision. Readers can inspect The Texas Tribune’s account of the proposal and watch for Starbase’s posted agreements and Dec. 9 action.
A separate Arizona land-use notice
A Cochise County legal notice proposes an AI and supercomputer campus with battery storage on approximately 747 acres near U.S. Highway 191 and the Apache Generating Station. It describes as many as nine computing buildings built in four phases and schedules a planning commission public hearing for Dec. 9 in Bisbee.
The Arizona notice names Tombstone Resources LLC, Arizona Electric Power Cooperative and Southline Transmission in connection with the application. It is a land-use notice, so this filing alone does not establish that the Arizona campus is a SpaceX project or assign it an investment value. The hearing record will show what action Cochise County takes on the application.
