NRG neared a 1.2-gigawatt hyperscaler power deal while Texas maintained its data-center development pause.

NRG was reported to be nearing a 1.2-gigawatt power agreement with a hyperscale customer. The cited material describes the transaction as near completion, not as a signed or operational supply contract.

The development occurred while Texas maintained a pause affecting data-center development. NRG President and CEO Robert Gaudette said the company’s customer-backed approach to adding capacity could operate in a more restrictive development environment.

The 1.2-gigawatt figure refers to electrical power capacity for the prospective hyperscaler arrangement. The supplied source does not identify the customer, generation assets, contract duration, pricing or energization schedule.
