GW Ranch is Pacifico Energy’s private-grid energy and digital-infrastructure campus near Fort Stockton, Texas; Amazon Web Services has been publicly associated with the site. Pacifico describes more than 5 GW deliverable by 2031, while the Texas air-permit record covers up to 7.65 GW of onsite generation. Those figures measure generation capability, not operating IT load. The first-power and ramp schedule remains prospective and depends on construction, fuel, environmental compliance and customer buildout.
