Provider notes
Energy. 20-year PPA with Energy Forge One (Chevron subsidiary) for dedicated behind-the-meter natural gas plant (~$7B plant cost). GE Vernova and Caterpillar/Solar Turbines. Campus designed to eventually integrate with ERCOT regional grid.
Water. Closed-loop cooling designed to minimize water use, compared by Microsoft to a fast-food restaurant on a lifecycle basis.
Community. Reeves County Judge Leo Hung is quoted welcoming the project at its June 2026 announcement; Microsoft describes a planned 'Community First approach' with future community meetings, but no meetings/hearings have occurred yet as of the article date and no opposition is documented. Checked: Microsoft's own announcement blog post only -- this is official/company-sourced reaction at announcement stage, not an independent local-news check.
What the source record says
7,000-acre campus in Reeves County. Natural gas plant investment estimated at $7B separate from campus construction. No groundbreaking date reported as of July 2026; coordinates are Pecos city center as exact parcel not disclosed.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Operator’s own listing
What the operator publishes about this site on its own website, matched to this licensed row by DataCenterData. Facts are taken from the operator’s page, shown with a link to it, and not independently verified; no page text is republished and the licensed values above are unchanged. A match does not establish that the listing and this row cover exactly the same building, suite or boundary, or who owns the site.

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.
