El Paso Electric only considered gas to power $10 billion Meta data center

Administrative law judges have released a proposed decision regarding El Paso Electric's application to build a natural gas plant to power Meta's $10 billion data center in El Paso, Texas. The judges recommended conditional approval, or denial, citing El Paso Electric's failure to consider alternatives or issue RFPs. The ultimate decision rests with the Public Utilities Commission of Texas, while local opposition continues to raise environmental and rate concerns.
