East Texas Data Center Keeps Building Despite Abbott’s Audit

East Texas residents are concerned about the ongoing construction of a Black Mountain Power LLC data center near Leary and Red Lick in Bowie County. The project is reportedly building its own power generation and connecting to non-ERCOT grids, allowing it to circumvent Gov. Greg Abbott's recent directive for an audit of data centers connecting to the state's main electric grid. Locals express worries about environmental impacts, safety hazards, and lack of accountability.

Texas Governor Proposes New Data Center Restrictions, Impacts Bowie County Projects

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has reversed his stance on data center development, proposing new restrictions on their construction in rural areas and advocating for the elimination of tax breaks. This policy shift impacts two major data center projects planned for Bowie County, Texas, both of which are already facing local opposition regarding water usage, electricity costs, and environmental concerns. State agencies are under tight deadlines to implement some of these directives, while proposed legislative changes will be considered in the next session.
