Summary
The Wyoming firm has an ambitious plan for a network of carbon-neutral data centers. The data center in Pecos, Texas, is slated to have a capacity of 1.5GW in Phase 1, rising to 2.5GW in future phases. According to the companies, the data center will be powered behind the meter by both piped natural gas and methane supplied from Istmo Midstream’s co-located fractionation facility. The companies claim the dual-fuel architecture adds an extra layer of fuel security and operational flexibility by reducing dependence on any single fuel source or supply pathway, while providing the reliability and resilience required for continuous compute.
