Community. Local coverage (San Angelo LIVE, Jun 2026) notes the Colchis site sits outside San Angelo city limits in unincorporated Tom Green County, roughly 2,500 ft east of the Skybox campus, raising questions about who can regulate it. No formal opposition, council vote, litigation, or moratorium located.
These reviews flag conflicting scope, inconsistent source text or support that has not been established. A withheld value may appear in the explanation, but is not displayed as an established field. The upstream row remains attributed under Sources.
- Cooling: Previously held pending provider-field review. The concern has not been resolved by an independent source review for this captured edition; the field remains withheld.
What the source record says
1-GW HPC/AI development site in Tom Green County, northeast of San Angelo near AEP's Red Creek 345-kV substation (~2,500 ft east of the Skybox San Angelo campus). In November 2025 Cipher purchased a majority interest in a JV (Colchis LLC) to develop the site, with options to buy ~620 acres of land adjacent to the existing substation; Cipher expects ~95% equity subject to final lease/development terms. Coordinates are the NE-San-Angelo / Red Creek substation area centroid (approximate) pending a parcel-level GIS lookup. Investment and jobs figures undisclosed -> omitted. County pinned via local press (San Angelo LIVE); the SEC 10-K discloses only "West Texas.". Cipher Mining was renamed Cipher Digital.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
