Checked: Microsoft's own announcement blog post only -- this is official/company-sourced reaction at announcement stage, not an independent local-news check.
Power and water
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.
Closed-loop cooling designed to minimize water use, compared by Microsoft to a fast-food restaurant on a lifecycle basis.
Notes on the record
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.
What the record does not establish, and the document that would
In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- Permanent jobs promised
Which document closes each gap
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
- Permanent jobs promised
- The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
