How we checked this
Checked on September 19, 2026. The cited source supports every part of this claim.
The transcript establishes the 400 MW total, the 100 MW liquid-cooled for Horizons 5-6, and the 250 MW air-cooled retrofit at Childress for 2027, matching the claim's substance.
Confirmed in the source:
- Childress 2027 plan adds a total of 400 megawatts of gross capacity combining new liquid-cooled and air-cooled retrofits
- 100 megawatts of additional liquid-cooled IT load at Childress is for Horizons 5 and 6
- An additional 250 megawatts of existing air-cooled capacity at Childress will be retrofitted
What we did: Read our cached copy of SEC EDGAR (8-K Ex) (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1878848/000187884826000028/irentranscript.htm) in full (50,400 characters, retrieved September 7, 2026) and checked each assertion in the claim against it.
