FGE Texas I
BrownfieldWestbrook, Mitchell, Texas · FGE Texas I LLC
FGE Texas I is a natural gas plant in Westbrook, Mitchell, Texas. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 743 MW of generation, so the grid hookup, transmission rights, and often cooling-water access are already in place — collapsing the speed-to-power timeline versus a greenfield build.
