Project Overview

The site, property, entities, and currently documented project facts.

Representative image. Not an official rendering or photograph of Project Mustang.

Project Mustang is a proposed large-scale data-center development east of Taylor, Texas.

This site tracks the project through property records, government records, regulatory filings, technical analysis, and public-information requests. Facts are separated from public claims, reasonable inferences, and unresolved questions.

Who’s Involved

Confirmed landowners and parties identified in official City records are tracked separately. The exact contractual relationships among the property owners, Big Watt Digital LLC, PH DIGITAL DATA CENTER DEVELOPMENT LLC, and any other developer or end user remain under investigation.

Current Regulatory Status

Last verified September 5, 2026

September 3 change: The Project Mustang annexation and Employment Center applications were withdrawn. The City of Taylor states that the project is still being pursued and that discussions with the City are continuing. Because the site remains outside Taylor city limits, the withdrawn City application is not a final project denial and does not mean the underlying development concept has been abandoned.

The City says annexation remains under discussion as a potential mechanism for imposing negotiated regulations on matters such as noise, water use, setbacks and community benefits. The City’s current Project Mustang page describes proposed annexation-related standards including a 1,100+ foot buffer between data-center/cooling/power-generation equipment and the nearest residence and an “EPA Tier 4” air-quality standard. Those are City-described proposed terms, not current enforceable Project Mustang requirements.

Current Proposed Concept

Last verified September 5, 2026

Planning materials and the August 18 Planning & Zoning hearing now provide a much clearer picture of the proposed campus. These figures describe the current concept; they are not final permits, equipment selections, or operating conditions.

August 18 hearing disclosure

Approximately 1,040 MW of on-site generation

Project representatives described roughly 1,040 MW of on-site natural-gas generation supporting approximately 700 MW of data-center load, with initial operation potentially isolated from the electric grid.

Publicly stated at hearing
Employment Center Plan

84–112 gas-fired generating units

The submitted equipment schedule lists 84 to 112 gas-fired units at 12.5 MW each. If every listed unit were installed, that schedule implies approximately 1.05–1.40 GW of aggregate nameplate capacity, which is broader than the approximately 1,040-MW hearing figure.

Proposal + calculation
Planning disclosures

125-foot gas stacks and extensive support infrastructure

The concept includes gas-generation yards, stacks up to approximately 125 feet, diesel backup and black-start generation, BESS, substations, gas infrastructure, urea/fuel-related storage, and cooling/radiator systems.

Proposed / documented
Important distinction: the current records establish what is being proposed and discussed. Exact generator technology, final unit count, stack coordinates, emissions, operating schedules, final interconnection design, and many site-specific engineering details remain unresolved.

County Transportation Coordination

Williamson County’s August 18 public-records production confirms that Kimley-Horn was coordinating with County infrastructure staff over a future arterial alignment by May 2026. The records document a June 22 meeting, a July 8 County engineering request for a detailed 136-foot ROW resubmittal, and a July 22 revised exhibit showing two potential future County road paths.
