Governor Announces QTS Data Centers Will Meet Texas Standards
· Texas Border Business
Governor Greg Abbott announced that QTS Data Centers will adhere to the standards he set for data center development in Texas. These standards aim to protect the electric grid, conserve water, and ensure data centers do not impose costs on Texas families. Abbott emphasized that data centers must respect local communities and pay for their infrastructure. He has directed the Public Utilities Commission of Texas and ERCOT to pause all pending interconnection requests until projects pass a comprehensive audit. Companies like Amazon and Google have expressed their commitment to these standards, while Diode has opted not to pursue a proposed center due to non-compliance.
