Texas Data Center BOOM Creates Massive Bubble! 220GW Demand?
Texas is facing an unprecedented surge in data center demand, fueled by the AI boom and attractive energy prices. However, experts are raising alarms, warning that the sheer volume of requests to connect to the electric grid could be creating a massive bubble. More than 220 gigawatts of projects, with data centers making up over 70%, have applied for grid connections by 2030, a figure far exceeding the state's current capacity. This inflated demand risks overbuilding infrastructure, leaving investors exposed if the forecasts don't materialize. Is this red-hot expansion sustainable, or is Texas on the brink of a costly data center bust? Subscribe now to find out what happens next.
