ERCOT-connected; net power cost ~3.2 cents/kWh via demand response and grid participation. MOU with Terrestrial Energy to co-locate molten salt reactors (IMSR) for eventual nuclear-powered AI capacity.
Immersion cooling for the operational 400 MW Bitcoin-mining phase; cooling for the future AI/HPC phase is not yet confirmed. The facility is projected to consume up to 1.5 million gallons of water per day at peak summer demand under a city-water agreement — a seasonal peak, not an average daily rate.
Public subsidies
- Chapter 312 property-tax abatement, Reinvestment Zone 24-102 (10-year term from tax year 2025)Navarro County, TX · 2024
Community sentiment
Organized local opposition (Concerned Citizens of Navarro County; Change.org petition). County commissioners declined an earlier, larger reinvestment-zone request in March 2024 after resident pushback; a smaller Chapter 312 abatement passed on a 3-2 vote in October 2024. Cited concerns: noise, peak water use, ERCOT grid strain, and limited permanent jobs relative to power draw.
