Texas Grid Audit Targets Data Centers | Houston News

Texas is under scrutiny as ERCOT launches a sweeping audit of over 400 data centers, pausing grid connections for some while demanding detailed reports on their massive energy and water use—equivalent to powering nearly 20,000 homes. The governor-backed probe will assess both big players (75+ megawatts) and mid-sized ones (25–75 megawatts), with findings shared publicly via dashboards and a final report due in December. Meanwhile, “Batch Zero” projects—seeking to join the grid—are already requesting power exceeding peak state demand, though disputes and verification hurdles remain, including proof of permits and deeds by September 23rd.
