Brazoria County rejects reinvestment zone / tax abatement for Old Ocean Data Center and Bulldog Power Plant
Brazoria County Commissioners Court voted unanimously to deny four requested 10-year, 100% tax abatements (via reinvestment zone designation) sought by Nightpeak Energy for the proposed $1.5B-per-facility Old Ocean hyperscale data center campus and its accompanying gas power plant near Sweeny. Officials and residents cited concerns over noise, water and power usage, and the small number of permanent jobs; officials noted the rejection does not block the project from being built since the county lacks zoning authority over it.
