SOURCE RECORD

Bastrop Project One (Ocean Blockchain) / Elgin data center: source record

operational

An obscure crypto-mining-origin facility that would be missed by hyperscaler-focused searches. Two independent state records converge: the TDLR project record gives the address, size, cost and evaporative building scope, while the Comptroller registry names Ocean Blockchain LLC as owner/occupant/operator. Contact details on the TDLR record: 'Darrell' at 512.230.6277 for the owner and Kevin Hsu at 626-377-8899 for the tenant.
