Texas Sets New Data Center Standards | Texas News
Description
Texas is cracking down on data center development as Governor Greg Abbott mandates new standards for projects seeking grid access, aiming to protect water resources and prevent electricity cost spikes for residents. QTS Data Centers has pledged to use near-zero-water cooling tech and generate its own power, avoiding ERCOT dependency. This move balances Texas’s push to become a top AI and cloud hub with responsible growth, sparking debate over oversight and long-term sustainability as regulators navigate implementation — setting the stage for future state policy shaping the digital economy’s footprint.
