In brief

What makes it notable.

  1. A grid-only site on a 345 kV ERCOT Panhandle interconnection with no on-site generation, where IREN, a bitcoin operator turned AI cloud, owns the GPU fleet itself.
  2. Power capacity has been raised to 750 MW, with 50 MW operating today, 200 MW critical planned, and first power in the fourth quarter of 2025.
  3. The GPUs are NVIDIA GB300 systems bought from Dell, and the next phases, Horizons 2 through 4, are targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026.
Deal anatomy

Six layers, and who holds each.

Every Registry site is read the same way: a campus is real when each layer has a name. Members see the anchor tenant and the capital.
