Compute Workload

This panel tracks what the facility is for without assuming that every project is AI training, inference, or cloud capacity.

Undisclosed / unknownUnknown

No source-backed workload, customer, hardware, or training/inference allocation is attached to this record yet.

Workload classification remains unknown in the reviewed record.

Public Money

No public funding record attached yet. Local subsidy, tax-abatement, land, bond, and utility records need follow-up.

Water

New Era's November 6, 2025 release identifies water supply as a site-selection consideration but does not disclose a service commitment, withdrawal, consumption, cooling, permit, or wastewater quantity for Lea County.

Power

New Era's November 6, 2025 announcement describes a proposed Lea County campus with more than 2 GW of natural-gas generation and a planned 5+ GW nuclear installation, with initial power delivery expected in 2028. New Era's current site page calls the location a 7+ GW planned-capacity pipeline. These are developer-stated planned generation/campus-power contexts, not confirmed requested, approved, energized, or data-center IT-load capacity; the dataset's 7,000 MW remains a rounded project-scale figure.

Bloom / Fuel Cells

No fuel-cell or Bloom Energy source is attached to this project yet.
