POWER & GRID
Time-to-power · verification · interconnectionPower reality
- ⚠ No grid, construction or operating record yet backs the 100 MW announced.
- ⚠ No public interconnection record for this load — ERCOT does not publish large-load requests.
- ⚠ No recorded land acquisition found.
How the time-to-power window was estimated
- Current stage: Announced (furthest stage with documented evidence)[1]
- No public grid record: No interconnection request or utility contract found; adds uncertainty to the upper bound.
- Required: 100 MW
- From “Announced”, large loads have typically taken 2–5 more years to first power (editorial range; see Methodology).
- The window is a range of plausible outcomes under these assumptions, not a forecast. It moves as new filings, queue updates or imagery arrive.

Utility, ISO and nearby assets are derived from the site's location. Proximity to a substation or line doesn't establish the interconnection; that needs a utility filing or interconnection-queue record. Queue requests are applications, not commitments — most never reach operation.
