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. Two simple-cycle natural gas microgrids (700-900 MW range per permit filings), independent of the El Paso Electric grid; NM Environment Dept weighing air-quality permits. Developer commits to 100% carbon-free energy by 2045 via solar and battery storage.
Water. Closed-loop recycling: 20,000 gpd daily average (0.02 MGD), 60,000 gpd maximum, plus a one-time ~10M-gallon initial fill over two years; water via Camino Real Regional Utility Authority. Truthout notes hyperscale closed-loop cooling is not yet proven at a fully operational facility.
Community. The NM Environmental Law Center sued the Doña Ana County Commission over the incentive approval; Sunland Park City Council asked for a postponement; the commission approved 4-1 amid audience opposition. Concerns center on water use in an arid region, air quality from the gas microgrids, and the speed and opacity of approvals. Investment is $50B over 5 years (up to $165B over 30 years).
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.
- On-site generation: The source energy note gives a different on-site generation range from permit filings, and the listed value matches nothing else in the record.
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.
