SpaceX plans a $24 billion gas-fired power plant and computing facility at Starbase, The Texas Tribune reported Tuesday. Reuters also reported the proposed power and computing development. The plans remain proposals, with a hearing on tax relief reported for December.
The proposed tax relief concerns the Starbase project in Cameron County. For Guadalupe County residents, the hearing is a statewide data-center story rather than a local tax decision: the reported request concerns the project’s Cameron County site. The $24 billion figure describes the proposed project’s scale, not a tax cost or an electric-bill change for households here.

The Texas Tribune reported that a December hearing will address tax relief for the Starbase proposal. The project’s primary filing had not been posted with the reports available for this edition, so those reports supply the proposal’s reported size and scope; they do not establish final project terms or an approved incentive. Readers can inspect the Tribune’s account of the hearing and proposal while the primary filing and hearing record are pending.
San Antonio Express-News reported on the project Thursday. The next record to watch is the posted hearing material, followed by the December decision on any tax relief for the Cameron County site.
