This is a source-attributed discovery row. It can help you find a place and its citations; it is not a DataCenterData finding that the facility is distinct or currently operating.

Provider notes
Energy. Grid-fed, no on-site generation found. Facility (20-acre private campus) is served by a loop-fed 300-400 MVA substation with dual A/B feeds via underground utility service (Premium Rollover Service) — a resiliency/distribution design, not a generation asset.
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
26MW, 96,129 SF, 20-acre campus at 22000 Franz Rd, Katy TX. Page explicitly describes it as home to some of the world's densest HPC compute environments serving oil & gas and cloud/HPC users, with DoubleDense cooling up to 1000W/SF immersion — real HPC evidence, so aiClassification=likely. AI/HPC (mixed_use): Skybox markets Houston as home to some of the world's densest HPC environments with DoubleDense immersion cooling up to 1000 W/PSF; its own news page confirms a named Skybox Houston I HPC immersion deployment (Shell Energy).
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.
