Planned Community Benefits

1

Jobs

An estimated 50% of construction and operations hiring from within 30 miles. Trade school certification programs are planned.

2

Public Safety

An on-site fire station, with equipment funded by the project, is planned. Firefighting equipment will be provided to the local volunteer fire department. Fire hydrants will be served by the new city water line. Emergency response coordination with local fire, EMS and law enforcement is underway.

3

Roads, Water and Sewer

Off-site road, water and sewer extensions will bring city water service to the site. Construction traffic measures will include dedicated access roads, road widening, alternative routing for heavy vehicles, construction-hour and delivery restrictions, and repair of damaged roads.

4

Community Space

Trails and soccer and baseball fields are planned in the setback areas, accessible to the community.

5

Water

Potable water from the City of Lacy Lakeview will be used for drinking water and fire protection. Reclaimed municipal water (treated effluent) is planned for non-potable uses.

6

Site Design

A 300-foot setback along the road frontage and 100-foot side and rear setbacks, with landscape easements and irrigated planting. Brick walls instead of fencing at the switchyard and substations. Dark-sky compliant lighting with shielded, downward-facing fixtures, motion activation and dimming. Noise and lighting studies, including a pre-construction baseline, are in progress.

Grid Reliability

Designated a Provisional Controllable Load Resource in the ERCOT large load interconnection process. The project intends to register as a Controllable Load Resource, which reduces power use at ERCOT direction during grid emergencies.

About L2D2

What the project is

L2D2 is planned on an approximately 521-acre site, with 925 MW of interconnection capacity requested through the ERCOT large load interconnection process and development in phases. Infrakey DC Parks LLC is the developer. The district is planned to provide power, water and sewer infrastructure to data center facilities within the site. No gas-fired power plant will interconnect with L2D2.

Memorandum of Understanding

On December 9, 2025, the Lacy Lakeview City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Infrakey DC Parks LLC for the Lacy Lakeview Data District (L2D2).

Next Steps

Annexation into the City of Lacy Lakeview

As contemplated in the MOU, the project intends to request annexation of the site into the City of Lacy Lakeview. Under Texas law, annexation requires public notice and at least one public hearing, and the decision rests with the City Council.

2026: ERCOT large load interconnection process

The request for 925 MW of interconnection capacity is in the ERCOT large load interconnection process. Energization follows ERCOT and transmission provider approvals.

Late 2026 to 2029: Construction

Construction is targeted to begin in late 2026, with first energization in 2027 and completion in 2029. Dates are subject to regulatory approvals.
