Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.

Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

Reported lifecycle history

  1. Proposed

    Green Data CEO Jason Bak pitched a 2 GW data center backed by a 10 GW solar array on New Mexico Tech land at a public Socorro Electric Cooperative board meeting.

    Underlying source
  2. Cancelled

    New Mexico Tech President Michael Jackson said the university would not proceed and would not renew or extend its agreement with Green Data, citing insufficient contiguous acreage, renewable-integration challenges and community concerns.

    Underlying source

Source notes

Never permitted or built. New Mexico Tech declined to proceed on June 2, 2026 and the county imposed a moratorium a week later; the developer subsequently pursued a separate proposal at Spaceport America in Sierra County. Neither Green Data nor CEO Jason Bak has previously completed a data center.

Developer proposed a 10 GW solar farm to power the 2 GW campus, pitched as a renewable-led development.
