Provider notes
Energy. Crusoe Energy filed TCEQ air construction permit (TCEQ announcement Feb 5, 2026) for a 933 MW natural gas power plant on-site at the Goodnight campus. Gas plant operates off-grid with no ERCOT grid connection for this generation asset. No carbon capture technology. Estimated emissions up to 4.5 million tons CO2/year and 1,600 tons criteria air pollutants/year per permit application. …
Water. No water volume or cooling system type disclosed in sources reviewed. TCEQ wastewater permit WQ0016881001 filed under the same GN DC1 LLC entity, indicating water infrastructure is being permitted; no public details available on cooling approach or projected water consumption.
Community. Armstrong County Commissioners Court approved the original tax abatement agreement unanimously at the November 12, 2024 public hearing. The amended PILOT structure was also approved unanimously in 2025 after hearing from elected officials from multiple taxing entities and members of the public. County Judge Adam Ensey publicly supported the amendment, noting it allows revenue collection to begin with each completed building rather than waiting for phase completion. Initial county payment expected June/July 2026.
What the source record says
Campus name: Goodnight, near the town of Claude, TX (known address: 10001 Lima Rd, Claude, TX 79019). Coordinates approximate (based on dispatch seed; county parcel area). Developed by Crusoe Energy via entity GN DC1, LLC (Delaware LLC, 255 Filmore St., Denver, CO 80206); Google is the hyperscale tenant/customer, confirmed publicly November 2025. Tax abatement agreement was signed with GN DC1, LLC in late 2024 without publicly naming the tenant. Google confirmed the Crusoe partnership but had not signed an offtake agreement for the on-site gas plant as of early 2026; negotiations on power amounts still ongoing per Google spokesperson. Planned IT capacity: Phase 1 described in tax abatement agreement as 'anticipated to consume up to 530 MW,' 4 buildings each with 4 x 25 MW data halls, on approximately 350 acres; Phase 2 (possible additional 3+ buildings) reported at up to ~500 MW additional; combined full build-out reported as 1 GW+ — all capacity figures are 'up to' ceilings from permit and abatement documents, not firm contracted amounts. Project was scaled back from an original 7-building plan (October 2025 local reporting); 4 buildings with construction permits from TDLR as of early 2026; Crusoe described 3-4 buildings as likely; grading on additional parcels suggests total program may reach 5+ buildings. First phase expected online 2026; initial county PILOT payment expected June/July 2026. The $40B Google Texas investment is a statewide commitment through 2027 covering multiple sites (Armstrong County, Haskell County, Ellis County) with no site-specific investment figure disclosed by Google. A $29B campus investment figure appeared in Aterio/Crusoe reporting — this is a projected ceiling, not a firm committed amount; omitted from investmentUsd per data-rigor policy. Distinct from Google's separate Haskell County TX site and Red Oak (Ellis County) TX sites — do not conflate. Building 3 is scheduled for completion 2026-08-01; Building 4 is due March 2027. Nothing at the campus is yet described as operational.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
