Master planCompany document
The master plan.
The company’s published master plan for Project Matador: the Main, West, East and South campuses, the generation sites, and the water, gas, fiber, transmission and rail corridors that serve them, beside the Department of Energy’s Pantex Plant.
The private grid
How power flows on the campus.
Every source feeds the data centers directly, behind the meter. A connection of up to 200 MW to Southwestern Public Service, an Xcel Energy subsidiary, is for start-up and backup only.
