Cipher Alborz Data Center, Happy, Texas
Overview
Cipher Alborz is a wind-powered computing facility near Happy in the Texas Panhandle. TYPE3’s map data names Cipher Digital Inc., places the site on Farm to Market Road 168, and records Announced with 0 MW. Cipher’s filings describe Alborz as a 40 MW data center held through a joint venture with WindHQ LLC, with Cipher reporting a 49% membership interest in Alborz LLC.
An older filing says Bitcoin mining began in February 2022 and that the facility was powered by Falvez Energy’s Astra Wind Project. The same historical record described Alborz as not connected to the electrical grid at that time. Those facts identify the facility’s disclosed history; they do not resolve its current grid connection, ownership, workload, or energized load.
The 40 MW figure is a company-disclosed facility figure, not automatically current IT load or operating demand. The Astra Wind relationship also does not document an ERCOT demand-response enrollment or measured curtailment performance. This makes the record useful for searches about wind-powered data centers and Texas Bitcoin mining while preserving its uncertainty. Current Cipher filings are needed before the historical status is presented as current.
That limitation matters when a historical facility description is compared with a current availability claim.

This state sits outside ERCOT and outside the survey. Sponsoring one funds the work of charting it — pulling its interconnection queue, large loads, and price data onto the map.
