New Era Lea Data Center

New Era Energy & Digital has proposed a large energy-and-data campus in Lea County, New Mexico. Public descriptions place the development on roughly 3,500 acres with an initial approximately 2 GW gas-generation concept and later expansion options involving additional generation technologies. The tracked 7 GW value blends prospective energy supply and future expansion rather than verified IT load, so the headline is withheld. Land control, final customer commitments, generation permits, water plan, financing and delivery timing remain development risks.

Operating IT capacity: Not established in published records
A missing figure does not mean zero. Planned, utility and generation figures are not operating IT capacity.
