Chevron spokesperson Paula Beasley told WIRED in an email that all tax incentives under consideration for the Energy Forge project "apply solely to the power generation facility" to "support new energy infrastructure, and do not extend to any future data center facilities that may be served." Beasley also said that there is currently "no definitive agreement" with Microsoft for this power plant.
We have under development approximately 26,000 acres across two jurisdictions with the infrastructure necessary to support power generation and compute capacity at scale. Each Wonder Valley campus is expected to provide 7.5 gigawatts of power generation capacity, creating a combined initial power plan of 15 gigawatts.
