What the source record says
~120-acre campus in Abernathy (Hale/Lubbock counties). Distinct from the separately-tracked Aligned 'Project Caprock' Abernathy campus (313 acres, different operator/parcel). 168 MW critical IT load (240 MW gross). Google-backed via a ~$1.3B lease obligation backstop. The frequently cited $9.5B is 25-year contracted revenue, not capex (in notes only). NOTE: the Anthropic lease associated with this deal is at TeraWulf's Justified/Hawesville KY campus, not Abernathy. Coordinates are the Abernathy town centroid.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
