Governor Abbott announces data center guardrail compliance$
Governor Greg Abbott announced that several data center companies, including New Era Energy & Digital, Switch, and Hanwha, will comply with new statewide standards in Texas. These guardrails aim to protect the electric grid, conserve water, respect local communities, and ensure data centers cover their own costs. The Public Utilities Commission of Texas (PUCT) and ERCOT are tasked with auditing compliance before projects can proceed.
