RCM Hill’s Project Aquila is a proposed data center campus on more than 800 acres in unincorporated Hill County, Texas. Court and local reporting describe an approximately 1.235 GW plan, more than $80 million of land contracts and claimed ERCOT planning approvals; the project also became the subject of federal litigation over the county’s data center moratorium and review process. The 1.235 GW figure is a proposed design load, not operating capacity. Litigation, land closing, county review, water, permits, financing and construction timing remain unresolved.
