The Permian Basin Hydrogen Hub Generating Clean Power for Data Centers & ERCOT

The EIA reports that in the United States electricity consumption is growing fastest in Texas, where the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) manages 90% of the load on the state’s power grid. One of the main sources of growing demand for power are data centers and cryptocurrency mining operations. The EIA expects electricity demand from customers identified by ERCOT as large flexible load (LFL) will total 54 billion kilowatthours (kWh) in 2025, up almost 60% from expected demand in 2024. This expected demand from LFL customers would represent about 10% of total forecast electricity consumption on the ERCOT grid in 2025.

Trans Permian plans to support this growth with development of gas-to-power facilities in Phase 1 with direct fired natural gas to gas turbines, and in Phase 2 with 640 MW of power produced in gas turbines with 75% hydrogen and 25% natural gas. The power load in both phases can be dispatched to behind-the-meter data centers or to the ERCOT Far West grid system, or both.
