Provider notes
Energy. Claimed 100% behind-the-meter: wind, solar, batteries, and dual-fuel gas turbines initially on Texas natural gas, later shifting toward green hydrogen; paired with a proposed 2 TWh 'Hydrogen City' salt-dome hydrogen storage concept.
What the source record says
Early-stage developer announcement (Mar 21 2025) for a 5 GW behind-the-meter data center hub on ~50,000 acres near Laredo (Webb County), targeting large AI workloads with direct-to-chip liquid cooling. Phase 1 stated as 300 MW / ~1M sq ft in 2026, scaling to 5 GW / 15M+ sq ft. Highly speculative: primary source is a single promotional press release; no permit, interconnection, or construction evidence located. Coordinate anchored on Laredo. Public-reception check (2026-09-10): Checked the operator's launch press release and one regional business-journal writeup (2026-09-10); both cover only the developer's technical vision (50,000-acre, off-grid/islanded from ERCOT) with no mention of a public hearing, Laredo city/county government reaction, or resident feedback. No community-reception record found in either source.
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.
