First and most complete Stargate site: about four of eight buildings operational by early 2026, running on a mix of on-site natural gas and ERCOT grid power (including local wind). Full build-out is 1.2 GW; a planned 2.1 GW expansion was redirected to other sites, and Microsoft is in talks to lease ~700 MW of Crusoe capacity at the campus.
