Water
Zero water, per the operator. MSB describes the campus as zero-water and direct-to-chip cooled at a PUE of 1.1. No water source, volume or permit figure is published, so the claim cannot be checked against anything.

Bloom Energy fuel-cell microgrid (Phase 1), 0.10 GW gas, Announced. First 100 MW building to run on a natural-gas Bloom fuel-cell microgrid; no TCEQ air permit found.

Matrix Bloom Energy fuel-cell microgrid (Building 1), 0.10 GW gas, Announced. Behind-the-meter Bloom Energy fuel-cell microgrid powering the first 100 MW building; developer-claimed

Matrix Phase II geothermal microgrid, 1.20 GW other, Announced. Developer-claimed 1,200 MW Phase II via geothermal microgrid; highly speculative

The Texas (ERCOT) grid demand right now: 51.8 GW (EIA-930, 2026-09-27 13:00). Matrix Data Center Campus's announced 0.80 GW would be 1.5% of the grid's current load.

County water status: Extreme drought (D3) in Hopkins County, week of 2026-09-22 (US Drought Monitor). Data centers are large water users for cooling; this is the neutral local water picture.
