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
No dated operational history is established in this record. Publication, discovery and source-update dates are not opening dates.
Source notes
26MW, 96,129 SF, 20-acre campus at 22000 Franz Rd, Katy TX. Page explicitly describes it as home to some of the world's densest HPC compute environments serving oil & gas and cloud/HPC users, with DoubleDense cooling up to 1000W/SF immersion — real HPC evidence. AI/HPC (mixed-use): Skybox markets Houston as home to some of the world's densest HPC environments with DoubleDense immersion cooling up to 1000 W/PSF; its own news page confirms a named Skybox Houston I HPC immersion deployment (Shell Energy). A Green Revolution Cooling customer page calls it Element Critical's Skybox Datacenters facility; as of October 2026 the operator's own page names only Skybox Datacenters. The 1.2 MW on that customer page is Shell's immersion-cooled compute load, not the facility's capacity.
Grid-fed, no on-site generation found. Facility (20-acre private campus) is served by a loop-fed 300-400 MVA substation with dual A/B feeds via underground utility service (Premium Rollover Service) — a resiliency/distribution design, not a generation asset.
