Long-Term Facilities
Data centers are multi-year, capital-intensive facilities — distinct from short-cycle crypto loads.
Properly structured, large-load development supports Texas economic growth while keeping the grid reliable. That requires investment signals, generation, and policy stability.
Data centers are multi-year, capital-intensive facilities — distinct from short-cycle crypto loads.
Hyperscalers often seek multi-year PPAs that can underwrite new dispatchable generation.
Texas is competing with other states and countries for the next wave of compute investment.
Right-sized interconnection paired with new generation protects every customer on the system.
Backup power and demand response can support reliability when the grid is tight.
AI and compute infrastructure are strategic assets best built on a strong, dispatchable Texas grid.
Hyperscale data centers are long-duration, multi-year investments. They typically pursue long-term power purchase agreements that can support — not strain — new dispatchable generation in Texas.
That is fundamentally different from interruptible, short-cycle crypto mining loads, and policymakers should not treat them the same way.
