BaRupOn signs gas supply agreements with Kinder Morgan for 60 MW on-site power generation in Liberty County, Texas
Type: Supply Agreement · Technology: Gas · Country: United States · Capacity: 60 MW · Announced: 2026-05-08
BaRupOn, an industrial developer, signed gas supply agreements with Kinder Morgan to secure 60 MW of on-site power generation for its Liberty County, Texas campus. The agreements support BaRupOn's pivot from chemical manufacturing to a dual-purpose AI data center and manufacturing facility due to grid interconnection delays. The Liberty County site, covering roughly 700 acres, will host a 200,000-square-foot AI data center alongside chemical manufacturing operations. BaRupOn initially sought 25 MW for manufacturing but faced $35 million in grid interconnection costs and a 2029 utility power availability timeline. The company now plans to scale power generation beyond 60 MW with potential additions of solar and nuclear capacity.
