Two state filings dated Oct. 1 describe a pair of data center buildings near Jayton in Kent County, each with an estimated cost of $2.4 billion. The filings name two LLCs as owners and no tenant.

These are Architectural Barriers project registrations. They record what an owner reports planning to build. They are not approvals for land use, water or power.

WHO IS BEHIND IT

The owners are LLCs, and the tenant field reads "Not Assigned." Data Center Dynamics reported Oct. 2 that Crusoe filed them, pointing to the "Project Hyper" name, which also appears on three September filings in Childress. That link is the outlet's inference. The filings do not say it.

Crusoe announced a Childress campus with Lancium on July 15 without using the Project Hyper name. Separately, the Texas Spur reports Crusoe approached Kent County this summer. Commissioners voted unanimously June 8 to set up a tax reinvestment zone, and another headline says the negotiations stalled. Its date is not shown in the free preview.

WHAT IT COULD MEAN FOR WATER AND POWER

The filings give no water or power figures. Crusoe describes a closed-loop cooling system for its Childress campus, but we found nothing on how the Jayton buildings would be cooled or supplied.

A 2021 Texas Water Development Board summary says no groundwater conservation district exists to measure, monitor or manage the Dockum aquifer in Kent County. On power, ERCOT said in June that it was tracking more than 438,000 megawatts of large-load requests. We did not find a public entry for this project.

WHAT WE DON'T KNOW

Who the tenant is, how much power and water the buildings would use, whether this is the same plan as "Project Kent," and whether Kent County has signed any tax agreement.
