Record Notes
AWS Project Spectrum and the Comanche Peak nuclear power agreement form one of the clearest power-linked AI infrastructure signals in Texas. Vistra disclosed in a September 2025 SEC filing that it signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with an investment-grade customer to supply 1,200 MW of carbon-free power from the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, with delivery expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2027 and ramp to full capacity by 2032. World Nuclear News later reported that Vistra's CEO identified Amazon Web Services as the customer and said Amazon would site a facility or property to use the 1,200 MW capacity. Separate data-center reporting describes Amazon Data Services / Project Spectrum activity near Comanche Peak across Somervell County and adjacent Hood County. ADCI keeps the selected 1,200 MW value, but treats it as a contracted nuclear power-supply envelope rather than a surveyed data-center IT load. The selected map precision is demoted to regional Hood/Somervell County scope because the public record covers a power agreement and related multi-county data-center development activity, not a single verified parcel.
