“Oracle is an outstanding partner and we’re proud to be a part of their ambitious investment in Texas renewable energy,” said Michael Rucker, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Scout Clean Energy. “Ranchero is one of the cornerstone projects in Scout’s portfolio and this PPA only adds to its outstanding profile.”
Ranchero Wind Farm, located in Crockett County, Texas, reached commercial operations in 2019 and is Scout’s largest operating renewable energy project to date. Ranchero produces enough electricity each year to cover 177,000 homes’ annual electricity usage and will contribute over $57 million in property taxes to Crockett County over its lifetime.
“Oracle is committed to developing data centers responsibly, especially as AI demand grows. This includes investing in carbon-free electricity that supports the Texas grid,” said Julia Robin, Head of Infrastructure Planning for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
“The Ranchero Wind Project supports our goal to match 100 percent of our custom AI data center electricity with carbon-free electricity by 2035, while enabling a more reliable, resilient, and affordable energy system for Texans.”
