Conflicts and open questions
- MW not set: Foundrie Hyperscale Data's website described a 500 MW energy service agreement as ready to execute; TXK Today reported the claim without independent confirmation, and SWEPCO had not commented.
- Price rose from $10 million to $12 million after SWEPCO assured the buyer it could deliver more power.
- Datahub also holds an option on 163 adjoining acres.
- Local officials have said Datahub now goes by Foundrie Hyperscale Data (AJC).
