NRG•ERCOT conditional inclusion for Texas data center gas plant
NRG Energy confirmed its proposed 1.2 GW natural gas plant tied to a Texas data center was conditionally included in ERCOT’s Batch Zero process.
- The project targets 1.2 GW of dispatchable generation paired with new load, limiting reliance on existing grid resources.
- Conditional status triggers further ERCOT study, verification, and interconnection steps before any final go-ahead.
- NRG first disclosed the project on its Aug. 4 earnings call.
