2.3 MW live today in Taylor County, Texas. Interconnection built, transformer set, meter running. Twenty minutes from the largest AI campus under construction in the United States.
Built, energized and carrying load. The allowance behind it is earned and consumed — this is delivered infrastructure, not an entitlement or a study.
The average wait for a grid connection in primary markets now exceeds four years. Speed to power is the primary criterion driving site selection.
JLL — 2026 Global Data Center Market OutlookThat four-year figure is the argument. A developer with hardware on order cannot buy time back at any price, and JLL puts 2026 construction at $11.3 million per megawatt before a single GPU is installed — with AI fit-out running as much as $25 million per megawatt on top.
An interconnection already built and energized is not a discount. It is four years nobody can buy, sitting on a balance sheet as delivered infrastructure.
JLL expects inference to overtake training as the dominant workload in 2027, and inference has to be distributed geographically to hold latency down.
This is not a training campus and does not pretend to be one. It is a regional node, live today, in the corridor where the training capacity is already being built.

February 2021 settled at $1,539.82 per megawatt hour. It is the only month in sixteen years that looks like that, and it is why the long-run mean reads higher than the market it describes. Remove it and every remaining year falls between $21 and $62.
That tail is the one risk a buyer can delete outright. Training and inference load runs flat at design power, which hedges cleanly against standard blocks — so the volatility above is not exposure you inherit. It is exposure you decide whether to take.

The paper is drafted and the diligence file is assembled. The ownership is flexible on form and firm on keeping a long-term interest in the ground.
$8,000,000 non-refundable for a fifty percent interest. The site, the energized interconnection, the installed equipment and the development rights across all 22 acres convey into the operating company. The sponsor retains fifty percent as a carried interest at the same ratio going forward, including on every megawatt energized thereafter.
The sponsor and one named engineer stay on payroll to finish and commission the agreed scope. Not advisors — accountable operators, on site, under your direction and your schedule. The people who built it are the people who deliver it.
You take the pad and the interconnect and bring your own transformer, switchgear and IT. Rent on energized capacity with a documented step as further capacity releases. Ten or fifteen year primary term at your election, with extension options and a purchase right. Term sheet in days, energized in weeks.
You fund the electrical and mechanical build-out and take a credit against rent across the first two to three years. Lower effective rate early for you, no capital call for the owner, improvements convey at term end.
Land and interconnection contributed against capital with a carried interest retained, or outright purchase at full value with utility consent to assignment as a condition precedent. If you would rather we signed your paper than ours, we will.
This one is not.
The sponsor came up on the floor. Chief engineer responsibility on gigawatt-class AI campus construction and commissioning. Hundreds of megawatts of liquid-cooled, immersion and air-cooled deployment across West Texas. Owner-operated infrastructure run against real ERCOT price signals, where being wrong costs your own money.
The controlled procedure library governing this site — operating methods, emergency procedures, maintenance program, asset register — was written by the same person who will hand you the keys.
None of it came easily. It was built by someone who started well behind the line and closed the gap by outworking the distance, one shift at a time, for years.
That is why this site exists at all. The interconnection got built and the meter got energized while comparable sites were still filling out applications, because somebody local, who knew which calls to make, refused to wait in a queue.
This is the pilot facility. Everything proven here gets repeated.
2.3 MW live and available to exercise now. Structure the power agreement however your desk needs it. Full diligence package moves within twenty-four hours of an NDA — executed utility agreement, interval data, survey, nameplates, test reports, title, single-line and mechanical basis of design.
