The record
Proposing, with Excelsior Energy Capital, a two-building hyperscale campus on 1,890 acres of county land near Hobbs.
Excelsior would build a 2-gigawatt solar field about three miles away; the companies say they will cover all new generation costs, fill the closed-loop cooling once with 9.6 million gallons, use about 42,000 gallons a day of municipal water once staffed, and buy treated effluent rather than city water for the roughly million gallons a day of construction.
