Phased development roadmap

Phase 1A bridge power → Phase 1 AI campus → 500MW+ expansion

  1. 0–12 months

    Phase 1A · Flexible compute (bridge)

    Generate electricity for flexible compute such as bitcoin mining / HPC to monetize early private power while the AI campus is developed. Transitional use only.

  2. 12–30 months

    Phase 1 · AI campus

    100MW IT-load AI data center campus with private-grid power, BESS/UPS, solar, and critical infrastructure.

  3. 30–48 months

    Phase 2 · Expansion

    Expand capacity — add data halls, BESS, additional generation, utility infrastructure, and amenities.

  4. 48+ months

    Long-term · 500MW+ campus

    Multi-phase buildout toward 500MW+ IT-load total campus potential.

The AI campus timeline is separate from the Phase 1A flexible-compute timeline. Phase 1A is a transitional bridge use only and can relocate or curtail as the AI campus is developed.

Why West Texas

Built where the fuel is cheap, abundant, and close

Permian-adjacent gas

Abundant, low-cost natural gas for private-grid generation.

Large-acreage land

Room to scale from Phase 1 to a 500MW+ campus.

Strong solar resource

Supports solar attributes and BESS hybridization.

Energy workforce

Transferable power, controls, and industrial trades.

Private-grid path

On-site generation reduces reliance on a constrained public grid.

Key questions

Straight answers

How fast can a private-grid AI campus be energized versus the public grid?

Grid interconnection in ERCOT can take multiple years. A private, gas-backed grid with on-site generation and BESS/UPS is designed to compress that timeline: this campus concept targets energization in 24–30 months, with a Phase 1A flexible-compute bridge targeting power within roughly 12 months — all subject to permitting, gas supply, equipment availability, and tenant commitment.

Why develop an AI energy campus in West Texas?

West Texas and the Permian Basin offer abundant, low-cost natural gas, large-acreage land, a strong solar resource, and a transferable energy workforce. Together these support a private-grid power path that reduces reliance on a constrained public grid and positions the campus for a faster, lower-cost path to power.
