Soluna has filed to build a 112MW data center called Kati II in Willacy, Texas, according to a filing first reported by Data Center Dynamics on Oct. 14. The filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation estimates $471.8 million for the single 471,884 sq ft (43,839 sqm) building.

On the filing's figures, the build works out to roughly $4.2 million per megawatt and about $1,000 per square foot.

Data Center Dynamics describes Kati II as seemingly an extension of the company's Kati I data center, which has 166MW of planned capacity at full buildout and 83MW in a first phase. Soluna confirmed a definitive joint venture agreement for Kati II with Metrobloks on June 3.

If built, Kati II's 112MW would add roughly 58% to Soluna's reported operating capacity of 192MW. In August it acquired a 397-acre plot in Briscoe County, Texas, for a Dorothy III campus of up to 300MW, adjacent to Dorothy I and II and next to the 150MW Briscoe wind farm it bought in April.
