Amazon is developing a data center campus on the GW Ranch site north of Fort Stockton in Pecos County, West Texas. Amazon bought the site from Pacifico Energy in 2026. Pacifico continues to develop the on-site power plant and will sell its output to Amazon.
Site History
- In August 2026, Amazon confirmed it had acquired the GW Ranch site and filed its first three data center buildings with the state.
- In July 2026, land clearing began.
- In June 2026, Pecos County approved a reinvestment zone and tax abatement for the power plant.
- In January 2026, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality issued the power plant's air permit.
Project Profile
- Site: about 8,000 acres on both sides of State Highway 18.
- Power starts off-grid, with a later path to the ERCOT grid.
Utility
The campus runs on a private grid fed by the on-site gas plant. Amazon plans to connect to ERCOT as interconnection timelines allow.
