The record, newest first

  1. A twin building, Rise 2A, of the same size and cost is registered with TDLR at the same address. (Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, July 15, 2026)

  2. Project Rise 1A, a 991,000 sq ft data center on FM 2897 S estimated at $500 million, is registered with TDLR. (Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, July 11, 2026)

  3. Google and AES announce a Wilbarger County data center paired with new co-located generation under two 20-year power purchase agreements. (AES Corporation, Feb. 24, 2026; KAUZ (News Channel 6), Feb. 24, 2026)

Conflicts and open questions

  • TDLR spells the two owner LLCs differently (Planton, Platon); both list the same project and address.
  • No power capacity has been stated publicly.
  • Coordinates are for Vernon; the filings give only FM 2897 S.

The full record

Status note
TDLR registrations list a March 31, 2026 scheduled start and March 2028 completion; no report that site work has begun was found, so the project is listed as proposed.
