Sangha Renewables' 110.4 MW Texas Data Center Campus Receives Conditional Base Load Classification in ERCOT Batch Zero Process

Sangha Renewables announced that the Electric Reliability Council of Texas has classified its 110.4 MW data center campus as Base Load under the ERCOT Batch Zero interconnection process, a key regulatory milestone that advances the project toward large-scale development in one of the fastest-growing data center markets in the United States. The designation places the campus among a select group of large-load projects moving through Texas' evolving interconnection framework, reflecting the state's efforts to accommodate surging power demand from digital infrastructure while maintaining grid reliability.

The classification remains conditional pending the completion of ERCOT's ongoing audit and verification procedures, consistent with other projects that received Base Load designation through the Batch Zero process. Sangha said it expects to navigate those procedures expeditiously.

The project currently benefits from approximately 19.9 MW of available power, with rights to expand to the full 110.4 MW through an additional 90.5 MW power allocation expected in May 2028. The campus is being developed to serve artificial intelligence, cloud computing, inference, and high-performance computing demand, positioning it to capture growth from the most power-intensive segments of the data center industry.

ERCOT's Batch Zero process represents the first large-scale review of qualifying large-load projects under the state's evolving interconnection framework. Inclusion in Batch Zero with Base Load classification signals that the project has advanced through ERCOT's initial qualification process and is proceeding alongside a limited cohort of large-load developments.

The milestone builds on Sangha's 2025 announcement of Project Genesis, a 110.4 MW data center campus co-located with a utility-scale solar facility in Ector County, Texas. The project is designed to create additional value from renewable generation by supporting large-scale digital infrastructure and compute demand. Sangha said it expects to continue working closely with relevant counterparties and stakeholders as the project advances. Marathon Capital is serving as exclusive financial advisor in connection with a strategic process for the opportunity.

The development underscores a broader trend in Texas, where ERCOT has become a focal point for data center growth and power capacity planning. As AI and cloud workloads drive unprecedented electricity demand, projects that secure Base Load classification and interconnection rights early are positioned to gain a competitive advantage in a market where power availability is increasingly the binding constraint on data center expansion.
