Energy Forge One

Application Submitted For Data Center Power Station

Chevron, via its subsidiary Energy Forge One, is seeking a significant Texas tax break for a natural gas power plant designed to directly supply a proposed data center campus in West Texas, potentially for Microsoft. The "behind-the-meter" facility near Pecos would generate 2,500 megawatts, bypassing the public grid. Environmental groups are concerned about the plant's potential greenhouse gas emissions, and Texas lawmakers are scrutinizing public subsidies for AI infrastructure.
