Texas power grid operators are seeking expanded authority to regulate data centers. This comes after Governor Greg Abbott issued a directive to the Public Utility Commission of Texas and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas to take action on data centers. The governor's directive aims to ensure data centers help lower residents' energy bills and pay for their own electric infrastructure costs.

Further details on the proposed regulations and their potential impact are available from the source. More information can be found through the Texas Tribune, which has reported on the developments surrounding data center regulation in the state.
