Conflicts and open questions
- Construction could begin in 2027 per local reports cited by Construction Review.
- Construction Review's headline calls this 'Project Spectrum' and also mentions Hood County work at 2300 Coates Road, Granbury (1,265+ acres); how the two sites relate is unclear.
- No MW figure found; Comanche Peak's roughly 2.4 GW is generation, not data center load.
- Commissioners' vote was the week before Feb. 24, 2026 ('last week'); exact date not given.
