A Tuesday memo starts the clock on a public hearing that could give the city its first real data-center rules, as Keller lawyers up next door and the region's revolt spreads.
In an interview released Friday, the president said Texas was wrong to hold up data center approvals. Gov. Greg Abbott's office said fewer than 10 percent of operators had supplied the power and water data the state asked for.
Gov. Greg Abbott ordered ERCOT and the PUC to audit power and water use before approving new data centers. Dallas-Fort Worth has more in the pipeline than anywhere else in the state.
The Public Utility Commission of Texas and ERCOT are adopting measures requiring data centers to cover transmission costs and contribute to residential bill relief following Governor Abbott's directive.
