Texas lawmakers propose new regulations to protect the power grid from huge data center demand growth
77% Informative
Texas lawmakers are trying to figure out how the state’s already-strained power grid can cope with demand growth.
The bill, SB6, passed in the Texas Senate last week and is now pending in the House .
Some conservatives have slammed the bill, arguing that Texas ’ minimal regulations have attracted so much business to the state.
Several provisions in SB6 address potential power scarcity issues.
Large facilities with significant back-up generators would have to register those units with their local utility.
Data centers want to ensure they won’t be punished for violating air quality standards if they comply with SB6.
Data Center Coalition wants clarification on how the “kill switch’s” provision would work.
