Yucca Growth Infrastructure, LLC (YGI)

The air-permit applicant (NSR 10883, docket AQB 26-57(P)) — parent of Acoma, LLC, the subsidiary that filed the first applications; after the Pueblo of Acoma objected to that name, later filings proceeded under Yucca's own. 2,275 Bloom Energy solid-oxide fuel-cell stacks operated by Bloom, up to ~2,462 MW, permitted to run 8,760 hours a year; NMED's modeling treats it as a minor source for PSD while the site 'will be a major source for Title V.' Registered at 600 Congress Ave, Austin — the same address as BorderPlex's Form D headquarters. Also the IRB Series 2025A lessee.

Key facts

2025-08-15Incorporated in Delaware on August 15, 2025, eleven days before the county's inducement resolution.
Parent of Acoma, LLC, which filed the first applications; the application's Section 1-H lists Yucca as Acoma's parent, so the two coexist rather than one renaming the other.
Applicant on permit NSR 10883 to run 2,275 Bloom Energy fuel-cell stacks, operated by Bloom, up to about 2,462 MW and permitted for 8,760 hours a year.^[1]
2026-04-27The earlier Acoma applications sat at 249.97 and 248.9 tons of NOx, three-hundredths of a ton under the major-source line, and were withdrawn on April 27, 2026, the day NMED decided to hold a hearing.^[2]
2026-07-24Was the sole funder of Elevate New Mexico, which disclosed $3,667,000 in contributions, all from Yucca Growth Infrastructure, in its July 24, 2026 settlement with the Ethics Commission.
2026-09-01Asked the Supreme Court on September 1, 2026 to partially resume the stayed air proceeding; the Court denied it unanimously, without comment.

The record

The company whose name is on the permit: its subsidiary Acoma, LLC filed the first applications (the application's own Section 1-H lists Yucca as Acoma's parent — parent and subsidiary coexisting, not a rename), and it is applying to run 2,275 Bloom fuel-cell stacks around the clock ~3.6 miles south of Santa Teresa. Its registered address is the same Austin suite as BorderPlex's securities filings.

Its earlier incarnation filed two applications at 249.97 and 248.9 tons of NOx — three-hundredths of a ton under the major-source line — and withdrew them the day NMED decided to hold a hearing.
