West Texas 1.4GW substation energization April 2026
Company: IREN
What the later record shows
Outcome not yet confirmed
As of July 2025, updates still targeted April 2026 energization for Sweetwater 1. No later passage says whether the substation was energized, and the September 2026 item only says the Sweetwater hub was included as base load in ERCOT Batch Zero.
