Gov. Abbott today announced that 456 megawatts (MW) of new, dispatchable natural gas power generation units have come online in Houston.
These units add enough electricity to power more than 100,000 Texas homes during peak hours.
Governor Abbott directed the PUC and ERCOT to protect Texans from footing the bill for data centers.
His plan requires data centers to cover their own infrastructure costs, lowers transmission costs for residents, and safeguards Texas communities and natural resources.
