Cipher Apollo, San Antonio-Area AI Data Center Site
Overview
Cipher Apollo is a development-site record associated with Cipher Digital, formerly Cipher Mining. Cipher’s August 2026 business update says the company acquired an option on a new site called Apollo for up to 900 MW within 25 miles of San Antonio, Texas. The announcement strengthens a map data record that previously relied on a DataCenterMap seed, but it does not convert the option into an operating data center, approved interconnection, or contracted customer load.
The public location is expressed as a radius, not a street address. The record therefore uses San Antonio-area language and does not imply a precise site point. Up to 900 MW is potential capacity associated with the option. It is not energized, critical-IT, contracted, or available customer load. The option is a development right, not evidence that land, power, or construction has been secured. Future evidence would include land control, permits, ERCOT studies, power agreements, construction, or a customer commitment.
Apollo currently has three useful anchors and no operating claim: Cipher acquired an option, disclosed a San Antonio-area radius, and stated potential capacity of up to 900 MW. A current Cipher Digital filing or project update can establish whether any milestone has moved beyond the option stage. Until then, TYPE3’s zero operational MW and development taxonomy remain the accurate status boundary.

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.
