SPACEXSI: SpaceX via Trinity Consultants filed TCEQ Air New Source Registration 185303 that seeks authorization under the Air Quality Standard Permit for Electric Generating Units for a power plant on the 444-acre site north of Hwy 4 near the Port of Brownsville. It covers the following:
Initial (temporary) configuration:
35 natural-gas turbines totaling ~748 MW. These are temporary units to be removed as permanent ones come online. They are described as used/refurbished, so I expect these to come from the Colossus 2 campus:
- 6× GE Vernova TM2500 (Plus) Gen 6 at 25.4 MW
- 2× GE Vernova TM2500 (+G4) Gen 8 at 27.4 MW
- 9× Mitsubishi FT8 at 27.1 MW
- 18× Solar SMT-130 at 16.48 MW
Final configuration:
- 8× GE Vernova 7E at 88.56 MW each (~708 MW).
Primary business listed as power generation, with a secondary SIC code for computer processing/data preparation services. That would be a Data Center.
This buildout process will be similar, if not exactly, like the powerplant in Southaven, Mississippi.
