The project aims to provide 5GW of power.
The facility will deliver 1 GW by 2028 and 5 GW by 2030, with 1.8 GW of storage, N+2 redundancy, and dual pipelines ensuring 99.999% uptime. Constantyn Gieskes, Pacifico Energy vice-president, said: “GW Ranch is not just about scale — it is about certainty. Every aspect of the project has been designed to solve problems with the status quo in data center development. By building off-grid and working hand-in-hand with local officials, we’re delivering the speed, reliability and responsible development that our customers and communities both demand.”
Permitting is underway with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, ensuring compliance. Local officials support the project, with Remie Ramos, Pecos County economic development director, stating: “Pecos County’s continued effort to diversify the local economy directly aligns with the development of GW Ranch. The minimal impact of an off-grid data center will increase the county tax base, create new jobs and have an overall positive impact on our county while conserving water and placing no constraints on local infrastructure.”
The project will create jobs and boost tax revenue. Pacifico Energy is also developing the 456-MW Ft Spunky project in Dallas.
