El Paso Electric to present plans for McCloud natural gas plant in Northeast El Paso

El Paso Electric is set to present its plans for a new natural gas-generation facility, known as the McCloud facility, in Northeast El Paso. The utility states that this proposed energy center is intended to provide constant, high-capacity power for its customers, specifically noting its connection to the Meta data center development in the area. Officials from El Paso Electric have indicated that the McCloud facility will not require water for its operations. The company also stated that Meta would be responsible for funding the project. The El Paso City Council is scheduled to review and discuss this proposal on Wednesday.
