$IREN is building one of the world's largest AI data center hubs 🤖
The 2GW Sweetwater Hub is engineered for scale, speed, and seamless fiber connectivity.
- 1,400MW comes online in April 2026, with another 600MW by late 2027.
- Spanning 1,800+ acres across two sites near Abilene, TX, strategically located along major fiber corridors, ideal for low-latency AI training and inference.
- 2,000MW of contracted grid capacity already secured under binding agreements, this is real, de-risked power. ⚡
What about water? 💧
We use closed-loop liquid cooling, now standard for high-density compute.
- Coolant is trucked in once for the system fill, then recirculates with only minimal top-ups.
- That means efficient thermal performance without ongoing water draw.
