West Texas (Abilene)
Market boundary: facilities within 110 km of the metro center (editorial definition).
Totals only include facilities with a reported or estimated figure; most sites don't disclose power, so these are floors, not market size estimates. Online = operating sites; pipeline = remaining planned MW at sites under construction or planned.

Bucketed by the midpoint of each site's evidence-based window. Windows are ranges, not forecasts.
No large gaps in this scope.
Interconnection queues
Active requests to connect to the grid (ERCOT). Requests are applications, not commitments — most never get built.
