Straight-line distances. Nearest named waterway via the USGS National Hydrography Dataset; nearest transmission line via HIFLD. Baseline water stress and groundwater trend describe the surrounding hydrological basin (WRI Aqueduct 4.0, CC BY 4.0) — not this facility’s measured water use. Principal-aquifer system underlying the location (USGS, mapped at 1:2,500,000 — regional context, not site hydrogeology).
TCEQ Standard Permit Technical Review (Registration 177263, approved 2025-01-22) confirms 10 simple-cycle turbines — 5x Solar Titan 350 (~38 MW) + 5x GE LM2500 (~34.1 MW) = 360.5 MW — behind-the-meter for on-site compute, no grid export. A proposed expansion (major TCEQ permit filed Jul 2026, not yet approved) would add 41 turbines (~1.4 GW) plus 18 diesel gensets; the ~1.2 GW figure often cited for the campus describes IT/interconnect capacity, not generation nameplate. Gas-plant buildout cost reported at ~$500M, distinct from the ~$1.1B data-center project figure.
Behind-the-meter, primary-plus-backup on-site generation dedicated to the campus; explicitly not exporting to ERCOT.
TCEQ issued Standard Permit Registration 177263 for on-site electric generating units at the 'Longhorn Data Center' site, Taylor County; a Jan 2025 modification set 10 simple-cycle turbines (5x Solar Titan 350 + 5x GE LM2500 = 360.5 MW) 'for onsite use only for data centers and computing,' with no ERCOT export.
TCEQ Electric Generating Unit Standard Permit Technical Review, Registration No. 177263The 10 turbines (360.5 MW) reported operational. A separate major TCEQ air permit (public-comment stage) seeks 41 additional turbines (~1.4 GW) plus 18 diesel backup generators; GE Vernova separately confirmed booking 29 LM2500 units (~1 GW) for Crusoe.
Planned Texas data centers could emit significant pollutionConfirmed: data verified against official filings, permits, or direct operator announcements.
