Provider notes
Energy. IMPORTANT CORRECTION: Pacifico Energy's famous 5-7.65GW off-grid gas project ('GW Ranch') is a DIFFERENT, DISTINCT project located in Pecos County, TX — not this site.
Community. Approval revoked and now contested via developer lawsuit against Hood County.
What the source record says
862 acres, across the Brazos River from the Pecan Plantation community. Water draw up to 20,000 gal/day. Coordinates are approximate.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
Status history supplied by the source
- 2026-03 · source-reported proposed
Concept plan was approved, then revoked by county commissioners 3-2 in March 2026; developer has since filed a lawsuit against the county.
Sources and attribution
These sources are listed for the whole row. Unless a figure links to its own source, the provider does not mark which one gave it, so a figure may not appear in every source.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
