Real-time generation mix for the ERCOT grid this site draws from, as of Aug 17, 2026, 8:04 PM. ISO-wide, not this facility's own metering. Source: gridstatus.

The closest existing grid infrastructure and the municipal water system this location sits in — the same constraints the buildout model screens on (it won't site a campus more than ~2 km from a substation or ~5 km from municipal water). Distances are straight-line to public HIFLD/EPA features, not a metered connection.
