Data Centers & Texas Growth

Powering Texas growth in the age of AI.

Properly structured, large-load development supports Texas economic growth while keeping the grid reliable. That requires investment signals, generation, and policy stability.

Long-Term Facilities

Data centers are multi-year, capital-intensive facilities — distinct from short-cycle crypto loads.

Long-Term Power Agreements

Hyperscalers often seek multi-year PPAs that can underwrite new dispatchable generation.

Time-to-Market Matters

Texas is competing with other states and countries for the next wave of compute investment.

Grid Reliability First

Right-sized interconnection paired with new generation protects every customer on the system.

Large-Load Flexibility

Backup power and demand response can support reliability when the grid is tight.

National Security

AI and compute infrastructure are strategic assets best built on a strong, dispatchable Texas grid.

Important Distinction

Data centers are not crypto.

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.

Help Texas win the next decade of investment.
