InterFace Panel: Automotive Users, Data Centers Drive Demand, Vie for Power in San Antonio Industrial Market

by Taylor Williams

By Taylor Williams SAN ANTONIO — Automotive parts manufacturers and data center operators both represent major sources of demand for industrial space in San Antonio, as well as major consumers of electrical resources. Both sets of users are increasingly prioritizing access to cheap, abundant electricity in their site selection and other real estate decisions. But that’s about where their similarities end. For the automotive industry has been a source of job growth and retention in the San Antonio area for decades, whereas data centers are a relatively new phenomenon that offer minimal contributions to local employment. And in between the two on the spectrum of industrial end users are third-party distribution and logistics companies, which really represent the market’s bread-and-butter tenant. But these groups typically don’t have such taxing power demands.

To sign up for email announcements about specific events, visit www.interfaceconferencegroup.com/subscribe. For data center developers and users, the need and demand for affordable, plentiful power is nothing new. And the fact that Texas has long had its own deregulated power grid has contributed mightily to the state landing many of those …

by John Nelson

BASTROP, TEXAS — Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) plans to invest $280 million for the expansion of its semiconductor research-and-development (R&D) and advanced packaging facility in Bastrop, about 33 miles southeast of Austin. The company received its fifth Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund grant, totaling $17.3 million, from the State of Texas to help fund the expansion. Over the next three years, SpaceX plans to expand the square footage of its Bastrop facility by 1 million square feet to produce Starlink kits and their adjacent parts, as well as advanced silicon products. The facility expansion will focus on developing printed circuit boards (PCBs), a semiconductor failure analysis lab and advanced packaging for panel level packaging (PLP). Starlink is an international satellite internet provider owned and operated by SpaceX. Upon completion of the project, the Bastrop facility will be the largest PCB and PLP facility in North America. “This grant will help continue to expand Bastrop’s manufacturing for Starlink to help connect even more people across the state and around the world with high-speed, low-latency internet,” says Gwynne Shotwell, president and chief operating officer of SpaceX. Texas’ Semiconductor Innovation Fund was assembled in 2023 through the Texas CHIPS Act, which developed a …
