Sangha Texas Campus Gets ERCOT Base Load Status for 110.4 MW Plan
Sangha Renewables said its planned 110.4-megawatt data center campus in West Texas received conditional base-load classification under the state grid operator’s Batch Zero process, as the company pursues a strategic process for the solar-adjacent site.
The Ector County campus currently has about 19.9 MW of available power, with an additional 90.5 MW expected in May 2028, Sangha said in a Friday announcement. The classification remains subject to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas’s audit and verification procedures.
Sangha is positioning the campus for AI, cloud computing and high-performance computing. The announcement did not identify a tenant, disclose development costs or announce a transaction.
Batch Zero is ERCOT’s transitional framework for assessing the combined reliability effects of large electricity users seeking grid connections. Its base-load category covers qualifying projects that are not subject to additional study under that process.
The conditional designation leaves a further hurdle. ERCOT said on Sept. 3 that projects could lose their place in Batch Zero if they fail to meet applicable conditions. On Sept. 9, the operator said it had begun sending verification requests to most conditionally included applicants, following an August directive from Texas Governor Greg Abbott to audit data center projects before allowing them to advance.
Sangha's campus has roots in bitcoin mining. In May 2025, Sangha announced groundbreaking for a 19.9 MW mining facility at an existing West Texas solar site and said it had raised $14 million toward a $17 million equity target.
The strategic review also predates the latest grid announcement. TheEnergyMag reported in June that Sangha was considering a sale, joint venture or partnership for the site, with co-founder Spencer Marr confirming that the company was speaking with a range of institutions. That report also described the planned increase in power supply to 110.4 MW by May 2028.
The latest announcement advances Sangha’s stated grid-access position while leaving the commercial structure and development of the larger campus unresolved.
