Data Centers in Childress, Texas

Childress, a small town at the edge of the Texas Panhandle, has drawn a cluster of power- and water-hungry projects amid a punishing drought: an IREN facility repurposed from crypto-mining to AI compute, a large solar park, and Lancium's proposed “Childress Clean Campus.” Residents fear that adding hyperscale demand will fall on an already-stressed supply — Greenbelt Lake, the region's main reservoir, has dropped to historic lows. A grassroots campaign is pressing county and state officials to slow further data-center approvals.
