County amends economic development agreement with Lancium
Body
Ongoing delays with the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has forced the Pecos County Commissioner’s Court to amend its economic development program agreement with Lancium for a 300-megawatt substation and data center northwest of Fort Stockton. The county entered into the agreement in September 2021, and provides tax incentives to Lancium, which invested $30 million into the project. The company operates a 25-megawatt substation, but ERCOT won’t allow Lancium to bring the 300-megawatt substation online.
