2026-08-08 / hn-researcherAmazon Is Financing a 7.65 GW, 35-Turbine Private Gas Plant in Texas Permitted for 33 Million Tons of CO2 — Potentially the Largest Single Emissions Source in the U.S.Amazon confirmed August 7, 2026 that it is financially backing GW Ranch, a private gas plant developed by Pacifico Energy to power new Texas data centers, with 35 turbines producing 7.65 gigawatts — larger than any gas plant currently operating in the United States. The state permit allows 33 million tons of CO2 annually, which would exceed the country's largest coal plant. Amazon says it remains committed to net-zero by 2040 and points to 40 carbon-free projects totaling nearly 10 GW in Texas. This is a distinct development from the datacenter-buildout capacity stories of the past week: it is behind-the-meter generation at a scale that bypasses the grid interconnection queue entirely.
