CenterPoint Reports 700% Spike in Texas AI-Data Center Requests

"CenterPoint Energy has seen a 700% increase in requests from data center developers to connect to its Houston-area utility within MONTHS [emphasis is mine]." Texas Policymakers - Now is the time for a new path forward in electricity, a path that unleashes the ingenuity of Texas entrepreneurs. "Consumer Regulated Electricity" or CRE is just such a path. Allow entrepreneurs to build new utilities in such a way as to avoid the need for PUC regulation and, stand back and be amazed at what they can do. CRE wouldn't touch the regulated grid, wouldn't use taxpayer money, and wouldn't impact existing ratepayers. And better still, it would allow the regulated utilities and ERCOT to better focus on existing challenges instead of trying to deal with the crushing growth datacenter load.
