Who is behind it
The record, newest first
State Rep. Drew Darby asked TCEQ to hold a public meeting in Tom Green County before deciding on Beacon's pending air permits for the Westline Energy Infrastructure Campus (HAP93, 184380, PSDTX1710, GHGPSDTX275), and sent the company nine questions covering emissions, water, traffic and other impacts.

TCEQ announced an air construction permit application for the Dove Creek Technology Campus Power Plant, a gas plant of up to 2,409 MW that would serve only the co-located data center. (Oil & Gas Watch (Environmental Integrity Project), June 25, 2026)
Tom Green County commissioners voted against pursuing a 12-month moratorium on data centers and large power projects in Precinct 4, questioning the county's legal authority; at the same meeting Beacon described all-on-site gas power, roughly 1,200 construction jobs and more than 300 permanent jobs, and a construction start as early as 2027.

Conflicts and open questions
- The 2,409 MW figure is the on-site gas plant's capacity, not data center load; no data center MW was found.
- Grid would be used only for backup and ERCOT coordination, per the company.
- No primary record opened (TCEQ permit pages not fetched); evidence is reported.
