Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that three more data center companies—New Era Energy & Digital, Switch, and Hanwha—have committed to his standards for new data center projects in the state. The announcement was made in a press release and shared on X.
Governor Abbott introduced these standards earlier this year, and several other major tech companies, including Meta and Google, had already pledged their adherence. However, the governor noted that some companies have opted to cancel their planned data center projects in Texas rather than comply with the new guidelines. The specific details of the standards themselves were not detailed in the announcement.
