Energy Forge One Power Campus (Project Kilby)

approved

This is a power campus, not a compute facility, but it exists solely to serve data center load and is the behind-the-meter source for Microsoft's Pecos campus. Capacity figures conflict: the ESD hearing notice describes ~1-2 GW of dedicated gas turbines while trade reporting cites ~2.67 GW. A parallel Reeves County ESD No. 1 notice for the same date references 'Project Thomas', which may be the same or a companion project.
