Stargate Abilene (Lancium Clean Campus)

Status: under-construction · Confidence: medium

Facts

Signal notes

Under construction: first two of eight buildings operational Sept 2025; ~0.3 GW / 4 of 8 buildings operational as of April 2026 (Epoch); full 8-building / 1.2 GW build projected Q4 2026 (capacity_mw shown is the 1.2 GW committed campus, which conflicts by frame with the ~0.3 GW operational figure). Oracle leases and operates capacity for OpenAI — Oracle needs an operators.yml entry (operator field set to openai). A 600 MW Abilene expansion was scrapped in 2026 while the broader 4.5 GW Oracle-OpenAI agreement remains on track (Tom's Hardware, headline-level support only, article body truncated at fetch).
