Provider notes
Community. Residents launched a recall petition against McGregor's mayor over the closed-session approval of the ~500-acre Galaxy Digital land sale and aquifer/water-supply concerns; enough signatures were collected by mid-July 2026 to advance the recall to the next phase.
What the source record says
~500MW initial phase, up to 3,500MW long-term. 500 acres NE of the SpaceX facility. Second Galaxy Digital Texas site, distinct from the tracked Afton/Dickens County Helios campus.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Operator’s own listing
What the operator publishes about this site on its own website, matched to this licensed row by DataCenterData. Facts are taken from the operator’s page, shown with a link to it, and not independently verified; no page text is republished and the licensed values above are unchanged. A match does not establish that the listing and this row cover exactly the same building, suite or boundary, or who owns the site.

Lifecycle status is not published for this listing.
Update this profile with a public source. The request includes topics needing more information; this does not mean the facility lacks them. Corrections and additions are reviewed before publication.
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.
