Texas generation project advances

In a September 8, 2026 release, NRG Energy said its previously announced, proposed 1.2 gigawatt natural gas generation project supporting a Texas data center development had been conditionally included as a Studied Load in ERCOT’s Batch Zero large-load interconnection process.

The project would pair 1.2 gigawatts of dispatchable capacity with new data center load rather than drawing from existing grid resources. NRG said the project is expected to create well over 1,000 construction and operational jobs and generate new tax revenue for local governments and school districts, subject to ERCOT’s remaining study, verification and interconnection steps, according to the company release.
