New $16B natural gas generation hub being built in East Texas, data center to follow

A $16 billion natural gas power generation hub and a co-located data center are planned for Anderson County, East Texas, as part of a Japan-U.S. trade agreement. The project, led by NextEra Energy and Comstock Resources, faces significant local and statewide opposition over environmental concerns, particularly water usage. Texas legislators are also addressing these issues, with calls for impact studies and the formation of a data center working group.
