Prometheus Hyperscale is planning a 1.5 GW data center campus in Pecos, Texas, which aims to bypass the need for an initial connection to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) grid. Instead, the facility will rely on onsite generation, initially powered by natural gas and later by ethane from a co-located fractionation facility. The project's timeline is contingent on securing a customer commitment, with a modular construction approach potentially enabling 100-150 MW of compute delivery by 2027. AI
IMPACT This project highlights a growing trend of AI data centers seeking independent power solutions to bypass grid limitations and ensure reliable energy supply.
