NRG Discusses Texas Expansion That Could Support 2.4 GW of Data Demand

NRG Energy is discussing an expansion of its Texas data center power arrangement that could support as much as 2.4 gigawatts of customer demand, up from the 1.2-GW plan now in place. The talks involve the unnamed cloud and AI hyperscaler tied to the project. The 2.4-GW figure describes potential demand at the same location; an expansion agreement has not been completed. NRG announced the initial project Aug. 4 through its Bring Your Own Power (BYOP) initiative, which pairs a data center with dedicated generation. The planned combined-cycle gas plant is expected to begin operating in late 2029. Its contract is set to run for at least 15 years and is backed by an investment-grade guarantee. NRG expects the project to cost $3.2 billion.
