Texas Governor Greg Abbott has ordered the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to halt all environmental permitting for data centers until an audit by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas on the impacts to the electric grid and water resources is complete, affecting new and pending data center projects statewide.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Data Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a full stop on all environmental permits for Texas data centers until ERCOT finishes its grid impact audit; this pause opens a window to reassess project schedules and contract terms now.
