Texas agencies outline plans to balance affordability with data center growth

Texas’ power grid operator and regulator have laid out their plans to regulate data centers that connect to the state grid and ensure data center companies, not residents, pay for the industry’s growth.

What's happening: To shield Texans from the negative impacts of data center growth, the Public Utility Commission of Texas and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas are:

  • Prohibiting data centers from taking existing power resources off the grid
  • Launching a new process to evaluate large projects looking to connect to the grid
  • Creating standards that large consumers must meet before joining the grid
  • Developing incentives for large consumers to reduce their energy use ahead of a grid emergency
  • Requiring large companies to pay for the grid infrastructure needed to serve them
  • Improving ERCOT’s process for projecting future demand

Some context: The agencies outlined their data center policies July 17 in response to a June 10 order from the governor, although many of those projects were already in the works.
