Microsoft Pecos datacenter campus
Announced
United States · 1 project · Last reported
Summary
Microsoft campus announced in June 2026 for Pecos in Reeves County, West Texas, adding about 2 GW of capacity for AI and cloud services through a multibillion-dollar investment over five to seven years. At launch it will run behind the meter on a co-located gas plant, Chevron's Project Kilby, built with Engine No. 1 and GE Vernova and sized to reach 2.67 GW in phases under a 20-year power deal; first power is expected in 2028, subject to Chevron's final investment decision. Microsoft says it funds the generation, plans to connect to the wider grid later, and will use closed-loop cooling.

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
Evidence
Sources are linked, not redistributed; each keeps its own terms. An archived copy is a lookup for the Wayback Machine capture nearest the retrieval date and may be unavailable or differ from what was reviewed. Each hash states what it covers; imported factual records are not publisher-page captures.
