Provider notes
Energy. 10-year gas supply agreement with Energy Transfer Oasis Pipeline (up to 450,000 MMBtu/day, sufficient for approximately 1.2 GW per Energy Transfer). Developer reversed original pledge to use only renewables after signing gas contract. Three 400 MW phases planned.
Water. 24,000 gallons/day direct facility water use disclosed to county commissioners.
Community. Guadalupe County Commissioners approved 10-year tiered property tax abatement 3-2 on April 22, 2026. Concerns raised about reversal of renewables commitment.
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.
- Announced investment: The provider text says the $14.5 billion figure was removed as unsupported, but later attributes the same figure to county records. This internally inconsistent investment claim stays omitted pending reconciliation of the operative sources and scope.
- Electric utility: New utility value itself labels the entity as gas supply.
What the source record says
706-acre campus spanning Hays and Guadalupe counties; coordinates use San Marcos city area as centroid. Developed with Evolve Holdings as construction manager. 10-12 hyperscale buildings totaling ~3 million sq ft planned. Tenant not publicly confirmed. Investment total not confirmed in available sources; $14.5B figure removed as unsupported. Guadalupe County commissioners rejected a $500M abatement 3-2 on Feb 24, 2026, then approved a revised abatement on April 21, 2026; county records peg total campus investment at $14.5B (Hays County, home to 77.5 of the 220 abated acres, took no abatement action).
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.
