IREN Horizon 1 Data Center, Childress, Texas
Overview
IREN Horizon 1 is the first named AI-oriented phase in IREN’s Childress campus. TYPE3’s map data identifies 620 Farm to Market Road 1033 and a site-precision pin, while its seed status is Announced with 0 MW. IREN describes Horizon 1 as a direct-to-chip liquid-cooled facility for high-density AI infrastructure with up to 50 MW of IT load. That is a phase-level IT figure, not the electrical capacity of the wider campus.
IREN’s Childress materials describe the campus as 750 MW on 576 acres, connected to ERCOT through on-site substations. A separate Microsoft announcement describes Horizon phases 1 through 4 at 200 MW of combined critical IT load. The phase, campus, and combined-Horizon figures use different boundaries and should stay labeled. ERCOT connection likewise does not show that Horizon 1 has been delivered, energized, or placed in operation.
The cited SEC presentation and 2025 materials provide construction and delivery context, but they do not resolve the current status. The record therefore keeps TYPE3’s map data layer beside the first-party disclosures. Its useful technical focus is liquid cooling, high-density AI load, and the difference between a planned IT figure and measured operating demand. That distinction is central to this record. Exact coordinates also remain subject to republication policy.
Questions
How much power is IREN Horizon 1?
IREN describes Horizon 1 as up to 50 MW of IT load. The wider Childress campus is described separately as 750 MW, and the four Horizon phases as 200 MW of combined critical IT load.
Is IREN Horizon 1 operating?
TYPE3’s map data says Announced. IREN’s 2025 materials and SEC presentation describe construction and planned delivery; current operations are not resolved by those sources.
What cooling does Horizon 1 use?
IREN describes direct-to-chip liquid cooling for the AI data center phase and positions it for high-density workloads.

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.
