Texas Data Centers: Abbott Gets Amazon, Lancium, Anthropic To Pay Their Own Way

Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that Amazon, Lancium, Cipher Digital, Stack Infrastructure, Anthropic, and Nightpeak Energy have agreed to comply with new state standards for data centers. These standards mandate that data centers cover their own infrastructure costs, conserve water, and mitigate community impacts, addressing concerns about grid stability, water resources, and residential compatibility. The move reflects a more structured approach to data center development in the state.

ERCOT 'Batch Zero' framework to impact data center projects, local regulation in San Angelo

ERCOT has approved the 'Batch Zero' framework, a new system for large-load interconnection studies, which could accelerate some data center projects in Texas. In Tom Green County, this framework may favor Cipher Digital's Colchis project, which is located outside city limits and faces less opposition, potentially over the Skybox/Emergent proposal. This situation highlights the limited regulatory control San Angelo's city government would have over projects in unincorporated areas.

Rural residents alarmed as a second data center is proposed in the Waco area

Cipher Digital proposes a hyperscale data center in Riesel, Texas, potentially using up to 500 megawatts and connecting to the state grid. The company is exploring water supply options after ruling out Riesel's city water. This proposal, combined with concerns about another data center in Lacy Lakeview and a moratorium in nearby Hill County, is generating significant opposition among Riesel residents and local leaders who feel left in the dark about the details.

Waterford resident calls for a trustee to step down in light of a data center development

A Waterford, Ohio resident is circulating a petition to remove a township trustee, Doug McCutcheon, who allegedly stands to profit from a proposed 200-megawatt data center by selling his land to the developers. Residents are concerned about a lack of information due to non-disclosure agreements and the perceived conflict of interest. The controversy has already led to the ousting of a Washington County Commissioner who supported the project.
