Classified as a gas generation interconnection request rather than a confirmed data center. Included because Ector County posted a 'Notice of Public Meeting - Tax Abatement, EMPower USA, LLC' and behind-the-meter gas generation of this size in the Permian is a common compute-load pattern. The link to a data center load is UNVERIFIED.
