Cipher Digital (CIFR) extended Barber Lake's contracted lease duration to 20 years through agreements announced September 25, 2026. Total contracted revenue at the Texas data center rises from $3.8 billion to over $9 billion. Cipher amended its existing lease with Fluidstack and secured a binding commitment from an AI lab for an additional 10-year term after that lease ends. A separate lease is to govern the later term on economic terms substantially consistent with the Fluidstack lease. Cipher expects approximately $5.2 billion in incremental contracted revenue.
The amendment sets phased delivery of individual data halls from the fourth quarter of 2026 through the first quarter of 2027. Rent starts for each hall upon delivery, with the first commencement expected in the fourth quarter of 2026. Under a cost reimbursement framework tied to the amendment and change orders, Cipher will bear the first $359.3 million of costs above the initial Barber Lake lease budget.
Cipher Digital (CIFR) and partners committed $10 million on Sept. 14, 2026 to upgrade Colorado City's water system.
The funds from Cipher Digital, Fluidstack and Anthropic will be managed with local leaders through the new Colorado City Water Infrastructure Foundation, a nonprofit funded exclusively by the three companies. Projects selected by the city include added water storage capacity, replacement of aging valves and other infrastructure to improve availability and resilience after recent storm-related outages. Cipher’s Barber Lake data center uses its own on-site water supply and draws no water from Colorado City’s system, so added capacity is reserved for residents.
Cipher Digital (CIFR) began developing lateral natural gas pipelines at multiple sites to support bring-your-own-generation power capacity for its data centers.
The pipelines are designed to connect Cipher’s facilities to nearby natural gas supplies and enable on-site generation of up to 2.5 gigawatts (GW) of electricity. Cipher plans to work with power providers to build and operate the generation infrastructure and expects the new power to become available before the end of 2027. The company intends to use this capacity to expand and lease additional industrial-scale HPC data center space to premier tenants and may also seek grid connections to help support local grid stability.
Cipher Digital (NASDAQ: CIFR) announced its support for Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s push to increase transparency and accountability in the state’s data center sector, including a comprehensive audit of projects seeking to connect to the Texas grid. The company said it will fully cooperate with the audit and provide detailed information on its power use, water use, and community impact for its Texas campuses in West and Central Texas.
Cipher outlined commitments to pay its own grid interconnection costs, curtail load during ERCOT emergencies under Senate Bill 6, support full disclosure and third-party audits of water consumption, use treated brackish non-potable water and explore oilfield produced water for cooling, back ambient noise studies, work proactively with neighbors, and invest in local public infrastructure. Cipher also highlighted its investor website as a key disclosure channel.
