New Era Energy Begins Site Work on Permian Basin Data Center Campus
New Era Energy & Digital has started site preparation at its Texas Critical Data Centers campus in Ector County, with 200 to 207 MW of Phase 1 power from Luminant expected in the third quarter of 2027 and an air permit filed for about 550 MW of Phase 2 generation.
New Era Energy & Digital said Nov. 12 that site preparation is under way at its Texas Critical Data Centers campus, a data center project in the Permian Basin in Ector County near Odessa. The company also said an air permit application has been filed for about 550 MW of Phase 2 generation with Thunderhead Energy Solutions, which is the company's power partner for that phase.
The company expects Phase 1 power in the third quarter of 2027, with the campus ready for service in the fourth quarter of 2027. Phase 1 power of 200 to 207 MW will come from a 20-year power purchase agreement with Luminant, a Vistra affiliate, and the company said this supply sits outside ERCOT's Batch Zero process for large loads.
