Interconnection
Grid connected, with on-site generation alongside: power comes from a mix of on-site natural gas and grid supply that includes local West Texas wind. As of April 2026 about 0.3 GW was operational against a planned 1.2 GW, so most of the campus is not yet energised.
Water
Closed-loop, direct-to-chip water cooling with near-zero evaporation; Abilene's mayor stated the site uses roughly 10 million gallons/year, against the city's 21 to 24 million gallons/day.

On-site behind-the-meter natural gas generation, 0.36 GW gas, Partially energized. ~360 MW across ten simple-cycle turbines (some GE Vernova), permitted for onsite/data-center use only; behind-the-meter while ERCOT interconnection is built. Site went live Sept 2025.
