Summary

TCEQ's Central Registry (Border and Permian Basin file, rows refreshed 26 October 2026) lists regulated entity RN112531009 'Midas Compute - Big Spring Facility' at 1202 N FM 700, Big Spring, Howard County, described as 'computing and data processing with on-site NG gen' under industry code 518210 (data processing, hosting and related services), with air New Source Review permit 185376 pending for NDS Ventures Inc; the permit affiliation and entity status are dated 16 September 2026. Midas Compute's undated website describes a Midas-controlled development site in Howard County with an air-permitting pathway for phased on-site generation and a 20 MW, 120 MW and 1.32 GW campus power development sequence built from liquid-cooled GB300 NVL72 modules (targets). This records the named facility as announced on 16 September 2026. The pending air permit is not development consent; no construction, completion, tenant or operation is established, and the MW figures are planned power stages, not IT load. evidence
