Opposition and litigation at this site
Nothing on record as of August 26, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Crusoe Nolan County Data Center in Sweetwater, Nolan County, Texas appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.
If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.
Power and water
A Nolan County commissioner states the data center will provide its own electricity and should not draw on residential supply; the generation type is not identified in the source.
The abatement agreement is reported to include water restrictions, metered water wells, mandatory reporting and penalties if the aquifer is harmed.

Notes on the record
Reported to generate more than $3m annually in payments in lieu of taxes plus more than $2m annually in charitable contributions to Nolan County. No investment figure is recorded here: the cited article headlines the project at $7 billion while other outlets have described a $70 million Crusoe data center in the same county, and the discrepancy is unresolved. Distinct from IREN's Sweetwater campus, which is a different operator on a different site in the same county. Coordinates are a city-level geocode.
