East Texas: low energy costs with redundant supply for future-proof AI deployments

Metrobloks partnered with Soluna to bring a next-gen data center to Southeast Texas. Designed with customizable configurations and power densities from 5kW to over 150kW per rack. Built to Uptime Institute Tier III standards, the facility supports workloads from general enterprise computing to high-performance applications, with single-tenant and multi-tenant colocation options available

MFE-A is a 300 MW facility, powered by a combination of renewable and redundant grid energy sources with industry-leading rates, designed to deliver sustainable performance and cross-border reach at a fraction of the cost of other markets.

MFE-A sits at the heart of South Texas’s digital corridor—linking major network routes between the U.S. and Mexico. With direct access to interconnection points in McAllen and Harlingen, the campus provides low-latency connectivity for enterprises, AI platforms, and international carriers.

Strategically Positioned at the U.S.–Mexico Gateway

The Perfect Mix for AI deployment

Dual-Source power with Grid Resiliency and Low-Cost Renewable Power

MFE-A connects simultaneously to the ERCOT grid and Las Majadas wind substation, securing 405 MW of total supply. This dual-feed, 100% renewable PPA structure delivers exceptional reliability and some of the lowest energy costs in North America, while maintaining full grid flexibility and uptime resilience.

Built for the Next Generation of Compute

Engineered for AI, HPC, and dense inference workloads, each data hall supports 150 kW + per rack and scales from 3 MW to 12 MW. A two-story architecture enables hybrid air and liquid cooling to the chip, with Tier III redundancy, 400 W/SF density, and scalable modules that grow with your compute needs.
