Grid interconnection, behind-the-meter generation, ERCOT large-load studies, demand response, and power controls for AI and hyperscale data centers in Texas.
On September 18, 2026, the PUCT adopted final SB 6 large-load interconnection standards (16 TAC §25.194). Data centers at 75 MW or more now face …
AI data centers draw far more power per site than previous generations of computing, and Texas is attracting a wave of them. The result is …
Reliable data center power depends as much on controls as on hardware. Paralleling switchgear, power management systems, generator controls, and UPS coordination must work together …
Texas data centers can lower energy and transmission costs by participating in ERCOT demand response and curtailment programs — reducing load during peak or scarcity …
ERCOT's large-load interconnection study evaluates how a major new load affects transmission reliability before it can connect. The process moves through screening, detailed engineering study, …
Connecting a large AI data center to the Texas grid means working through ERCOT's large-load interconnection process: a load study, transmission service provider coordination, and …
Behind-the-meter (BTM) generation lets AI data centers energize critical load using on-site natural gas turbines or reciprocating engines while waiting on slow grid interconnection. BTM …
AI data center developers in ERCOT should plan for grid interconnection to take longer than data center construction, driven by study cycles and transmission upgrades …
