Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that all new data center projects must undergo audits by state regulators, citing concerns about grid capacity and rising electricity prices. ERCOT's interconnection queue has grown to 474 gigawatts of pending projects—more than 90% data centers—more than doubling from 233 gigawatts in January, representing over five times the grid's peak demand. The audits could slow or halt Texas's role as a major data center hub if regulators determine projects pose risks to grid reliability or electricity costs.
