Amazon confirmed August 7 that it's backing GW Ranch, a private plant developed by Pacifico Energy with 35 turbines producing 7.65 gigawatts, larger than any gas plant currently operating in the US. The permit allows 33 million tons of CO2 annually, exceeding the country's largest coal plant. Amazon points to net-zero by 2040 and 40 carbon-free projects totaling nearly 10 GW in Texas. The architectural detail that separates this from the usual capex headlines: it's behind-the-meter generation, bypassing the grid interconnection queue entirely.
