Soluna and Applied Digital agree to build an AI data center beside the Briscoe Wind Farm, if Briscoe County grants a tax abatement
Soluna Holdings and Applied Digital agreed on October 21st to form a jointly owned company to develop Dorothy 3. It is a planned 50 MW critical IT data center for AI near Silverton in Briscoe County. It sits beside the 150 MW Briscoe Wind Farm that Soluna owns. Its first phase is expected to draw power from the wind farm and from the grid. Closing depends on Briscoe County approving a tax abatement among other conditions. The intended tenant ChronoScale has signed only a non binding letter of intent. Soluna's older Dorothy campus at the same wind farm runs behind the meter. The company describes Dorothy 3 as a much larger next phase built for AI.
How to take part
No hearing or comment window is posted. The abatement the deal depends on would come before the Briscoe County Commissioners Court. That court is the body a resident would contact.
Where
1 county. In Briscoe, which is in no metropolitan or micropolitan area.
