Texas Governor Greg Abbott ’s initiatives to decelerate data center construction in the state are reportedly showing results, as indicated by recent developments. Abbott has directed a moratorium on new grid connections and requested audits from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, ERCOT, and other agencies. These measures are influencing developers to consider alternative locations such as Iowa, Utah, and Georgia. This strategic shift could impact Texas’s ambitions to rival Virginia’s dominance in the data center market. Watch for any further announcements from Governor Abbott or Texas regulatory bodies that may indicate a formal moratorium.
