Meta Commits to Abbott’s Grid and Water Standards for Texas Data Centers
· Texas Border Business
Governor Greg Abbott announced that Meta will adhere to the new standards for data centers in Texas. These guidelines aim to ensure that data centers do not burden Texas families or communities. Key requirements include paying for their own electric infrastructure, reusing water, and minimizing disruptions to neighborhoods. The Public Utilities Commission of Texas (PUCT) and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) will review each project to ensure compliance. Companies like Amazon and Google have expressed their commitment to these standards, while Diode has opted not to pursue a proposed data center due to non-compliance.
