Spectrum News just put a spotlight on BaRupOn’s LAMP campus in Liberty, Texas. Here’s why this moment matters, and what it means for the future of energy in America.
There’s a moment in every big vision when the world starts to pay attention.
For BaRupOn, that moment just happened.
On May 3, 2026, Spectrum News published a feature on our Liberty America Multi-Sourced Power and Innovation Hub, which we call LAMP, making it our first major media coverage. And while we’re proud of the recognition, what we really want people to understand is why this project exists in the first place.
Because this isn’t just a data center story. This is a story about rethinking energy from the ground up.
700 Acres. 3 Gigawatts. Zero Grid Dependency.
LAMP is being built on 700 acres in Liberty, Texas, about an hour east of Houston. When fully built out across four to six phases, the campus will require three gigawatts of power to operate.
Here’s what makes that different: we’re generating our own.
While Texas is in the middle of a data center boom, with hundreds of facilities either proposed or already under construction, most of those projects plug straight into ERCOT, the state’s power grid. That puts pressure on the grid, raises electricity costs for everyday Texans, and creates a fragile dependency that scales poorly.
We took a different approach entirely.
LAMP will produce its own energy through natural gas, powering both manufacturing operations and data center infrastructure on-site. The result? A self-sustaining campus that doesn’t draw a single watt from the community’s grid
As our Founder and COO, Balaji Tammabattula, told Spectrum News:
“Whatever we’re doing here is not going to impact the community on their power. It’s not going to change their power bills.”
That’s not a talking point. That’s a design principle.
The Water Problem, Solved Differently
Across Texas, data center projects are running into fierce community resistance, and a lot of it comes down to water. These facilities consume enormous amounts of it, and in a state where aquifer levels are already under stress, that’s a legitimate concern.
We designed LAMP with that reality in mind.
For every 50 acres of development, BaRupOn is building approximately five acres of deep deduction ponds. Each 50-acre section will have the capacity to store around 50 million gallons , captured from rainfall, not pulled from local aquifers. That water gets repurposed and reused within the campus.
It’s not a workaround. It’s how the project was architected from day one.
Phase One Launches in Three Months
Construction at LAMP is already well underway. Phase one is expected to be operational within three months, and with it comes 300 jobs for the Liberty area.
This is what responsible infrastructure looks like: community-first, grid-independent, water-conscious, and built to scale.
