Facebook announced that it has chosen Fort Worth, Texas as the home for its next data center. It will be the fifth data center the social networking company has built and will support other facilities in Altoona, Prineville, Forest City, and Lulea. Facebook says that the Fort Worth center will help manage Facebook’s growing global infrastructure, as well as its Internet.org initiative.

Just like its data center siblings, the Fort Worth location will be powered by 100 percent renewable energy, which is thanks to the 200 MW of new wind energy that Facebook brought to the Texas energy grid.

If you want to know more about the data center, there’s a Facebook page you can follow.
