Projects

  • Pacifico Energy GW Ranch Under construction · 7.7 GW · Fort Stockton: filed site address 6000 TX-18; distance north of town reported variously as 11 and 17 miles

    The biggest single power permit in US history, and it is Amazon's: an 8,000-acre off-grid Permian Basin campus authorized for 7.65 GW of gas generation, where Amazon holds the site and buys the power while Pacifico Energy builds the plant.

  • Poolside Project Horizon Paused / at risk · 2.0 GW · Fort Stockton area (Longfellow Ranch)

    The cautionary tale of the 2026 buildout: an AI coding startup's 2 GW gas-powered campus in the Permian lost its CoreWeave anchor tenant and Nvidia-backed funding round within six months of announcement.

  • Lancium Fort Stockton Clean Campus Partially operational · 325 MW · Fort Stockton

    Pecos County's early-mover grid-tied compute campus: Lancium's 2021 Chapter 381 deal put a ~200-acre, 325 MW-master-planned flexible load on the ERCOT grid at Fort Stockton, an interruptible Controllable Load Resource absorbing excess West Texas renewables for bitcoin and high-throughput cloud workloads. Included in scope for its compute-beyond-bitcoin posture and CLR significance.
