SOURCE RECORD

CloudHQ SAT Campus: source record

under_construction

Largest single announced load in Bexar County at 600 MW. Sources conflict on whether SAT1 construction began in 2024 or October 2025, and on whether the campus address is 15255 or 15355 Lambda Drive. Note the SAT1 building figures (432,800 sq ft, up to 96 MW, $276.8M) reported by the tracker are identical to Vantage TX12's permit figures, which suggests a data-attribution error in the tracker.
