What's next
These dates come from the tracker. Texas Data Center Watch has no recorded upcoming Reeves County hearings or votes on data centers.
- 2027–2028: LandBridge anticipates first power delivery in 2027 and large-scale generation in 2028 (LandBridge).
- Dec. 31, 2027: ERCOT's projected COD for the Alpha Digital Campus combined-cycle unit (ERCOT).
- 2028: First power from Chevron's Project Kilby for Microsoft's campus is anticipated (Chevron).
- Statewide permit pause: Under the Governor's Sept. 21 order halting permits sought by data centers (Governor's office), TCEQ sent its Oct. 19 compliance letter: it says permits for infrastructure directly supporting data centers are paused, pending applications are being screened, and claimed authorizations are suspended where possible (TCEQ letter). The Texas Tribune reported Oct. 20 that TCEQ says stormwater permits flagged by Public Citizen were suspended (Texas Tribune). On Oct. 21 TCEQ posted that its STEERS e-filing system for automatic authorizations is temporarily shut down so staff can check whether applications relate to data centers (TCEQ STEERS notice); the Texas Tribune reports a spokesman said applications must be physically provided (Texas Tribune, Oct. 21). The tracker doesn't show whether any project in Reeves County has a pending TCEQ permit.
