Data centers in Fisher County, Texas: 1 project mapped
The data center in Fisher County is IREN's Sweetwater campus, named for the Nolan County town it neighbors but built across the line in Fisher County itself. Data Center Dynamics reported in May 2026 that IREN's two Sweetwater sites are planned to total 2 gigawatts across 2,200 acres: Sweetwater 1, at 1,700 acres and 1.4 gigawatts, and Sweetwater 2, at 500 acres and 600 megawatts, due for power in 2028. IREN, a former Bitcoin miner turning into an AI cloud provider, says Microsoft is a major customer.
In early May 2026 IREN energized the Sweetwater 1 substation, connecting it to the Texas grid, with power to ramp up as buildings are finished. IREN's chief operating officer, David Shaw, told KTXS about 300 construction workers were on site, expected to triple or quadruple within six months, with more than 200 people working there once complete. Shaw said the county was chosen for its power infrastructure: it "has all the electrical infrastructure built out, and over capacity of power."

The county's tax question is still open. The Fisher County Hospital District's board met with IREN and its lawyer to review a proposed tax agreement, then voted to table it for more review. Next door in Nolan County, commissioners approved a 10-year abatement in April 2026 for Crusoe Energy Systems' $7 billion, 200-megawatt project, expected to pay more than $3 million a year in lieu of taxes; resident Hagan Deeter said, "It will change our rural town."
IREN says Sweetwater 1 will keep expanding through 2027 and Sweetwater 2 is due for power in 2028; whether Fisher County or its hospital district has reached a tax agreement for the campus has not surfaced.
