Responsible use of water and power
Protecting Local Water Resources
Designed to protect local water sources and groundwater supplies, the project’s industrial process water will be sourced through existing infrastructure. Minimal wastewater from the air-cooled system will be transported off-site for processing and reclamation, while any sanitary wastewater will be treated and disposed of in full compliance with TCEQ and Hood County Environmental Health standards.
For industrial processed water, the facility will utilize the existing industrial water allocation for the adjacent power plant. Only a small amount of potable water is needed for basic employee use such as sinks and restrooms.
Our sustainable approach to water
Existing, on-site industrial water source
Our project draws from an existing industrial water allocation that does not touch Hood County’s residential or municipal water supply.
The equivalent of six-single family homes for domestic water needs per building
In addition to the permitted industrial water use at the site, the project will require a small amount of potable water for employee use, for things like sinks and toilets. The equivalent of six-single family homes for domestic water needs per building.
State-of-the-art closed
loop air cooling systems that recirculate water
Our highly efficient design requires a single initial fill, with water continuously recirculated within the system.
Powering Everyday Life in Hood County
From healthcare to public safety, data centers keep our community connected. Every telehealth visit, online class, ATM transaction and 911 call relies on data centers. This critical infrastructure will continue to support how Hood County residents live, work and stay safe.
A Program to return more water to Hood County
This project pairs efficient design with a local conservation commitment that puts water back into the community through measurable, trackable projects.
2x community
return
For every gallon used, two gallons will be saved locally through funded projects.
Metered and tracked annually
Water savings are measured project by project and reported each year.
Community-based
projects
Funding supports real installations across hood county, not theoretical offsets.
Tied to project delivery
Water conservation funding scales alongside project buildout and operations.
Aquifer impact reduction
Each gallon captured locally reduces demand on the Upper Trinity Aquifer.
Available Power Infrastructure
The project is designed to utilize existing power infrastructure adjacent to the site, ensuring a reliable and responsible power supply without the need for new generation facilities. This approach minimizes environmental impact while maintaining consistent energy availability.
U.S. Data Center Required Capacity
The U.S. is at a time where securing additional data and technical infrastructure has become increasingly important. In the U.S. alone, data center capacity is expected to almost double between 2025 and 2030.
Data Centers Improve the Grid
Data centers can strengthen the electric grid and put downward pressure on power prices by providing needed transmission and distribution revenue to utilities. Under Texas laws, projects like this must cover the full cost of infrastructure without passing expenses on to local families or businesses. And by locating the project next to existing power infrastructure, it also reduces the need for new construction, helping keep costs down and minimizing impact on the community.
