On-Site Generation & Air

Natural-gas generation, backup systems, emissions, and air quality.

On-site generation can function as backup power, routine prime power, or part of a larger microgrid strategy.

We are investigating proposed generation technology, capacity, operating hours, fuel use, emissions, air permits, testing, and whether generation could operate beyond emergency conditions.

Key Questions We Are Investigating

  • Generation technology and installed capacity
  • Operating hours and fuel use
  • Backup versus routine operation
  • Air emissions and authorization
  • Testing schedules and operational limits

The representative photograph on this page shows real backup-generation infrastructure at another data center. It does not depict Project Mustang’s final design or confirmed equipment configuration.

TCEQ records status: the available record for public-information request 26-118470-PIR states “Request Documents: No data found.” That statement is reported as-is and is not treated as proof that no TCEQ records or future authorizations exist.
