Pacifico Energy's GW Ranch is a massive, master-planned data center and power generation campus sprawling across 8,000 acres in Pecos County, Texas.
Purpose-built to sustain the immense computing demands of next-generation artificial intelligence, the project utilizes a unique "private-grid" (off-grid) model that completely isolates it from the ERCOT public grid, protecting Texas ratepayers from strain while bypassing traditional utility interconnection delays. Backed by a historic, record-setting TCEQ air permit approved in early 2026, the hybrid campus will integrate up to 7.65 GW of natural gas-fired turbines with 1.8 GW of battery storage and 750 MW of on-site solar. Construction breaks ground in 2026, with "first power" and initial modular data center buildings scheduled to become operational in the first half of 2027, clearing a guaranteed path to support massive AI supercomputing clusters at full buildout by 2031.
