Texas energy regulators, industry leaders face power demand questions amid growth of data centers

Texas is facing a significant challenge as data centers are predicted to demand up to 24 gigawatts of power by 2031, equivalent to powering millions of homes. Regulators and industry leaders, including ERCOT and the Public Utility Commission of Texas, are grappling with how to incentivize economic growth from data centers while ensuring grid reliability and managing costs for consumers. The growth is also driving an increase in battery storage and solar installations, but uncertainty remains on how to adequately prepare the state's power infrastructure.
