Power and water
Served by the ERCOT grid; Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) is the regional distribution utility for Pecos but Core Scientific's filings do not name it. Core Scientific announced a 'scalable behind-the-meter' power solution on 200+ acres (April 2026) with generation type/MW undisclosed - distinct from Microsoft's separate Project Kirby and the Chevron/Energy Forge One gas plant in the same county.
Notes on the record
High-density AI/HPC colocation. ~1.5 GW gross / ~1.0 GW leasable is an expansion ceiling (in notes). Co-located in Reeves County with Microsoft's separate 'Project Kirby' Pecos campus (distinct operator/parcel; tracked separately). Address on record: 1939 FM 2119. Core Scientific historically a bitcoin miner, repositioned to HDC. Coordinates are the Pecos area centroid. No Pecos-specific capex is disclosed (Q4 FY2025 capex of $279.2M is company-wide; the $226.2M CoreWeave-funded portion is contract revenue, not capex) -> investmentUsd omitted. No Reeves County abatement attributable to Core Scientific was found (the 'Pecos Power Plant LLC' abatement is a separate gas-plant entity).
