AI-Ready Capacity with a 350+ MW Expansion Roadmap

100+ MW Phase 1 Critical IT Capacity
350 MW Total CIT Planned
Behind the meter, ERCOT + Renewable-Powered Campus

Metrobloks has partnered with Soluna to co-develop Project Kati 2, an AI-ready data center campus in South Texas. The site delivers immediate access to power and a clear path to scale, combining renewable energy economics with the reliability of the ERCOT grid.

Strategically Positioned at the U.S.–Mexico Gateway

  • Located in South Texas near McAllen
  • Access to major long-haul fiber routes
  • Alternative AI siting option beyond Central & West Texas
  • Outside historic flood plains
  • Adjacent to substations with redundant power supply

The location supports low-latency connectivity for U.S., cross-border, and LATAM-oriented enterprise and AI workloads.

‍South Texas Power Advantage for AI Deployments

Project Kati 2 benefits from secured, renewable-powered infrastructure designed to support high-density AI and HPC workloads at scale. The campus combines low energy costs through renewable power with the reliability and resiliency of the ERCOT grid.

Designed for customers facing power constraints in traditional data center markets, MFE-A enables faster deployment timelines without waiting years for interconnection approvals.

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 farm, securing 460MW of total supply. This 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 High-Density AI and HPC

Engineered for AI, HPC, and dense inference workloads, each 25MW data hall supports 150 kW + per rack and scales from 3 MW to 12 MW. A single-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.

MFE-A is engineered for demanding AI and HPC environments, supporting modern cooling and power architectures required by GPU-dense deployments.

Design Highlights

  • AI-ready, high-density architecture
  • Designed for 150 kW+ per rack
  • Liquid-cooling compatible (direct-to-chip ready)
  • Modular blocks enabling phased expansion
  • Tier III-aligned design principles
  • Dual-source power with scalable redundancy

A Campus Designed to Grow with Demand

The initial 100 MW phase is the first step in a larger campus roadmap supporting 350 MW of total Critical IT capacity. The modular design allows customers to scale efficiently as compute needs expand, without relocating or redesigning infrastructure.
