What changes the reading

  • The two building filings have the same area, cost and schedule but identify separate building names. Their figures are shown separately and are not added into a campus total because public filing scopes can change or overlap.[2][3]
  • The first building filing spells the owner Planton. The registry and second filing use Platon, so the first spelling is treated as a filing discrepancy rather than a separate confirmed company.[1][2][3]
  • The wastewater figure is the treatment plant's permitted design flow. It is not the data center's expected water withdrawal or measured consumption.[4]
  • The filed end date is a construction schedule. It does not establish completion, energization or customer acceptance.[2][3]

Still not public

  • Planned information technology load and delivered power are not public.
  • Construction progress and an opening date are not established.
  • The source and amount of campus water supply are not public.
  • Cooling design and measured water use are not public.
  • Backup generation and battery plans are not public.

The registry entry for this facility comes from the Texas Comptroller's certified list of data centers holding a sales tax exemption. Owner, occupant and operator are roles in that filing rather than descriptions of who runs the building.
