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: KTXS reports $7 billion without attributing the figure; as of October 2026 no other source found gives a figure. KTXS also reports a 200-megawatt facility without attributing the figure, so no planned capacity is recorded, and quotes a county commissioner estimating roughly 2,000 workers on site during construction; that estimate is not recorded as a jobs figure. 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.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.

Power capacity in megawatts
Cooling method and water use
Permanent jobs promised
Land area
Which utility serves it

Which document closes each gap

Power capacity in megawatts: The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
Cooling method and water use: The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
Permanent jobs promised: The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
Land area: The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
Which utility serves it: The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.
