Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.
Reported lifecycle history
- Proposed
Bentaus announced a partnership with Chadbourn Infrastructure Partners LLC to build an AI data center in Texarkana, Arkansas supporting up to 200 MW and up to 3,000 acres of developable land.
Underlying source - Proposed
Public records reporting identified the site as 15 contiguous parcels totaling more than 2,700 acres owned by Fort Chadbourne Farm LLC; no county approval action had been reported and the developer did not respond to questions about project status.

Source notes
Coordinates are the OpenStreetMap point for Mandeville, the nearest named community inside the block of parcels described by the Texarkana Gazette - 'bordered on the west by U.S. 71, on the north by Arkansas 108 and on the south roughly by Interstate 49.' This is a nearest-community approximation only; no source gives coordinates or a street address, and the pin has not been confirmed to fall inside the assembled tract. Landowner and co-developer: Fort Chadbourne Farm LLC and Chadbourn Infrastructure Partners LLC, both with Michael 'Jacques' Davison of Bradley, Arkansas as sole corporate officer; a third entity, Chadbourn Energy Park LLC, was formed in February 2026. About 2,300 acres were marketed as Chadbourne Ranch and sold in October 2025 for $5.165 million. The record is marked reported rather than confirmed because the two newspaper accounts are from the same ownership group and the developer has not confirmed status; the 200 MW figure is the developer's own announcement, not a utility or permit record.
Bentaus's February 2026 announcement describes support for 'up to 200 megawatts (MW) of power capacity'; the Texarkana Gazette reports 'an initial 48MW' secured through an Electric Service Agreement. The plans also call for 'access to pipeline-quality natural gas, allowing the facility to generate power on site as the project expands.' The electric service provider is not established: SWEPCO denied involvement and Southwest Arkansas Electric Cooperative declined to discuss the project, citing a possible nondisclosure agreement - so no utility is recorded here.
