Notes
Electric Service Agreement is between HCEC and Giga Energy Inc. (Brent Whitehead, Co-Founder & COO) as Customer/lessee of the BDE-002 site — not directly with BDE. HCEC contact: Kathi Calvert, CEO/General Manager, 1701 E Loop 304, Crockett, TX 75835, (936) 852-7237, kcalvert@houstoncountyelec.com. Confirm how this agreement transfers/assigns in connection with any BDE acquisition of the site (Section 17, Assignment, requires Cooperative consent or new agreement).
Key Flags & Constraints
▼
30-ft Solar Setback
BDE deed prohibits constructing any structure (barns, towers, fencing, hedges) within 30 ft of the shared boundary with the Dionysus Solar option area (~1,509 ac). This restricts development on the north/northeast edge of the site.
Cessation Clause — Kenley Buyback Right
If BDE ceases operations for a continuous period of 2 years, the Kenley family retains the right to repurchase the 4.61-acre parcel. Operations must remain active to secure continued ownership.
Mineral Rights Retained by Kenleys
The Kenley family retained all mineral rights below the surface of the 4.61-acre conveyed parcel. Any subsurface activity or underground infrastructure would require separate negotiation.
Noise Covenant
Operations must not exceed 100 dB at the property boundary, and must not exceed 75 dB measured at 300 yards from the boundary. Cooling systems, generators, and HVAC should be evaluated against these limits.
Water Rights Conveyed — On-Site Use Only
Water rights were conveyed with the deed but are restricted to on-site use. Water cannot be resold or diverted off-property.
Cory Kenneth W Ltd Boundary — Unverified
Houston CAD shows ~6,475 acres under Cory Kenneth W Ltd adjacent to this area, but the deed makes no mention of them. Their exact boundary relative to the BDE site is unknown. Needs Houston CAD parcel map verification before any expansion planning on the south/west side.
Existing Relationship with Kenley Family
The Kenleys were the direct sellers of the BDE parcel — a transactional relationship already exists. This is the most actionable path to expansion: ~3,726 acres of adjacent land, same family, same legal group (Martin Legal Group PLLC).
