Texas Tightens Oversight of Data Center Development
Data Center Frontier reports that Texas is tightening its data center policy framework through gubernatorial directives, PUCT/ERCOT rulemaking, and interim legislative scrutiny.
- Gov. Greg Abbott has directed regulators to make data centers pay full electric infrastructure costs, add generation, use water-efficient cooling, and report electricity and water use; he also signaled 2027 legislation to revisit tax incentives and community protections.
- The article says this is a policy analysis and roundup of recent actions, not a single new project announcement; it also notes that Abbott later ordered audits/verification of ERCOT-bound projects and that lawmakers are considering repeal or reform of the sales tax exemption.
