Correcting the record here. A post earlier today on this sub-reddit incorrectly claimed that NUAI (TCDC) would be at risk of significant delay and losing its prospective tenant, if an ERCOT large-load interconnection (LLI) application been not been filed in time for ERCOT's infamous "Batch Zero" timeline, for Phase 1. This is factually incorrect.

In the call today, Charlie Nelson clarified and made it clear they aren't waiting around for ERCOT:

>"Phase 1 is 200MW. Our deployment is expected to be supported by adjacent generation. In other words, we’re not starting with a traditional grid buildout, waiting on the grid or significant new infrastructure to complete our first step."

From the Slide Deck:

>Phase 1 (200 MW) Powered-shell deployment via adjacent generation; no significant electrical infrastructure required

Grid interconnection does not come until Phase 3:

>Phase 3 (+750 MW) Phased, demand-driven expansion toward 1.4 GW through additional BTM generation and bi-directional grid interconnection

>Hello, Tom [Manskey], the director, is not here. They, actually he and two other staff members, along with the mayor of Odessa, the county judge and Dr. Williams from Odessa college, were invited to Fort Worth for a meeting today with Google, along with some other communities. They've just finished that up. It was a community open house development...to talk about Google and data centers, so that was critical that they be represented there. So he will update you on all of that, I'm sure, at the next meeting. But I do have his report there and just want to follow through on a couple of things that we have going on. You see the new projects, they're listed for Q1 of 26. The staff has been incredibly busy. A lot of things, a lot of balls that are being juggled and, you know, an economic development that it is a long game and they may be talking to them for two, three, 4 or 5 years...

>...So there's again, a lot of activity that's happening. We talk about the data centers. I believe you all may know that the Economic Development Department is setting up a project on June 10th, I think it is? To discuss data centers, and that's open to the community. But really focusing on the taxing entities, you all just to be better educated on data centers. He has some speakers that will be coming out on that.
