Notes on the record
Within the larger Caldwell Valley Technology Park megasite near Austin/San Antonio - a distinct operator/parcel from Tract's own 1,515-acre/2,000MW land holding in the same park (existing tracked entry tract-caldwell-valley-uhland-tx); do not conflate the two. ~700MW figure from a single-source tracker, not independently verified, so omitted from capacityMw. PowerHouse has filed a petition to move the site from Town of Uhland jurisdiction to Caldwell County jurisdiction (lighter TX zoning authority at the county level). Coordinates are approximate.
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.
- Cooling method and water use
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- Permanent jobs promised
Which document closes each gap
- Cooling method and water use
- The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
- Permanent jobs promised
- The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
