Analysis

2 verified data-center BTM projects found within 25 miles across all statuses: Azio Modular Data Center (Azio AI, 11 MW natural gas, ~3.8 mi, Announced) and Port of Victoria Campus (Crusoe/Blue Energy, gas-to-nuclear up to 1.5 GW, ~7.5 mi, Announced). Both are announced projects with BTM generation planned. The count of 2 meets the ≤2 threshold.

Project 1 — Azio Modular Data Center: Azio AI is deploying modular AI data center capacity at a South Texas site (~3.8 mi from the target parcel) utilizing behind-the-meter natural gas generation colocated at an operational oil field. The initial deployment is 5 MW of data center capacity backed by 11 MW of simple-cycle natural gas generation. Envirotech Vehicles, the site host, has signed a non-binding LOI to acquire Azio AI in a $480M merger. Broader plans include "Atlas One," a 500+ acre campus engineered for up to 500 MW of BTM power. Both the project identity and data-center BTM relationship are publicly corroborated.

Project 2 — Port of Victoria Campus (Crusoe / Blue Energy): AI data center developer Crusoe has partnered with nuclear energy firm Blue Energy to develop an up to 1.5 GW nuclear-powered data center campus at the Port of Victoria (~7.5 mi from the target parcel). Blue Energy will initially deliver power through combined-cycle natural gas generation (1,100 MW target by 2030), transitioning to nuclear (GE Vernova Hitachi BWRX-300 SMRs, up to 1,500 MW by 2032–2034). Blue Energy has submitted a construction permit application to the NRC, and the project has filed Texas Chapter 313 tax abatement applications with Bloomington ISD. The 1,600-acre campus is designed as an AI factory with 10 data center buildings at 250 MW each. Both project identity and BTM relationship are publicly corroborated.

Gas-demand context: The Azio project's gas requirement is modest (11 MW simple cycle). The Port of Victoria Campus's gas bridge phase (1,100 MW combined cycle) represents significant near-term gas demand, though the planned transition to nuclear would reduce long-term gas consumption. Neither project has confirmed shared gas delivery points with the target site; supply-path relationship is unresolved.

Next Steps

  • Confirm gas delivery point and pipeline constraint-group assignments for the target site relative to both identified BTM projects
  • Monitor Blue Energy NRC construction permit application progress and Crusoe/Blue Energy Phase 1 gas bridge timeline
  • Track Azio AI / Envirotech Vehicles merger status and Atlas One expansion timeline
  • Verify whether additional pre-announcement BTM projects exist through local air permit and zoning searches in Victoria County
  • Reassess count screen as projects advance from Announced to later stages
