Key Developments & Data
Texas halts grid access for new data centers pending a audit.
Governor Greg Abbott directed the PUCT and ERCOT to audit every data center in the state’s interconnection queue.
Texas’s queue exceeds 474 GW of requested capacity, with approximately 90% coming from data centers.
Projects that fail to meet specifications will be denied grid access entirely.
And when state audits drag out queue timelines for years, already-connected operators get a massive competitive moat by default.
