DataBank is developing eight buildings on 292 acres in Red Oak, Texas, targeting 480 MW of critical IT capacity. DFW9’s 60 MW design is part of that total, not operating load. Announced construction financing reached $2.65 billion in June 2026 for four buildings; financing is not expenditure. Operator pages disagree on phase-one capacity. DFW9 is listed at 3080 Batchler Road, while an earlier state registration used Stainback Road. Oracle entities appear in tax-program roles, not verified occupancy. Building-specific construction plans and tax-abatement approvals are documented in Evidence.

Reviewed ro capacity context

Reported rounded

DataBank’s April 2026 financing announcement describes DFW9–DFW11 as 180 MW of planned power. Its June 2026 financing upsize supports a fourth building with 60 MW of additional planned IT capacity. The DFW9 page describes phase one as 240 MW critical IT, while the campus page displays 240 MW in its headline and 300 MW in its prose. This discrepancy remains unresolved; none is a measured operating load.

Electric grid

Planned or represented

400 MW

Initial planned Oncor on-site substation rating; utility capacity is separate from full-campus critical IT design and is not evidence of energization.

Cooling system

Planned or represented

DFW9 building design specifies N+1 cooling and capability for rear-door heat exchangers and water-to-chip servers; this is not a measured campus water-use claim.

Fiber

Reported context

Operator DFW9 page lists one on-site carrier without naming it. This is a building-specific reported listing, not proof of all-campus carrier deployment.

Utility service

Planned or represented

DFW9 design specifies N+1 power; building resilience specification is distinct from the campus utility connection rating and operating load.
