Evidence
What the evidence supports
NMED's amended notice of public hearing describes Yucca Growth Infrastructure, LLC's New Source Review permit application NSR 10883 to construct the YGI Microgrid, which would consist of Bloom Energy solid-oxide fuel cells to generate 2,462 MW to power a nearby data center. The notice announces a hearing to take evidence on that application, identifies a Department draft permit as reviewable material, and is not an issued permit. 2,462 MW is requested generation in a pending air-permit application. It is not issued capacity, not utility demand, and not data-center IT load. The notice set the hearing to begin at 9:00 a.m. on September 14, 2026. On August 23, 2026, the New Mexico Supreme Court stayed the underlying administrative proceeding until further order, so the hearing could not proceed as noticed; the Albuquerque Journal reported on September 17, 2026 that the Court lifted the stay that day and that NMED must appoint a new hearing examiner. This check found no hearing outcome, secretary's order, or issued permit.
Still unknown
Rescheduled hearing date and outcome; whether NSR 10883 is later issued, denied, or withdrawn; data-center IT load; utility demand.
