What the Current Project Records Show

Official submittal

Oncor identified as electric provider

Kimley-Horn states that Oncor Electric Delivery is the electric provider for the site and that the development has been in frequent contact with Oncor. Additional service information remains to be clarified.

Proposed / documented
Official submittal

Substations may be located throughout the campus

The EC Plan allows electrical substations, switchyards, transformers and associated electrical infrastructure throughout the property as needed to support the closed-campus employment center.

Derived from submitted equipment schedule

Potential generation scale is very large

The plan lists 84–112 gas-fired units at 12.5 MW each. Simple arithmetic implies approximately 1.05–1.40 GW of aggregate gas-generator nameplate capacity if all listed units are installed. This is not a statement of continuous output or final installed capacity.

Hearing disclosure

Approximately 700 MW data-center load / 1,040 MW on-site generation

At the August 18 hearing, project representatives described approximately 700 MW of data-center load and roughly 1,040 MW of on-site generation. They also described initial operation as potentially isolated from the electric grid and said the generation is not intended for exporting or selling power.

What Is Still Unknown

  • Final Project Mustang electric load and peak demand.
  • Final Oncor interconnection configuration, transmission upgrades and substation design.
  • Any final ERCOT interconnection arrangement attributable to this project.
  • Who will fund project-driven off-site electrical infrastructure.
  • Final relationship between grid service and the proposed on-site generation system.
