This week's policy watch

ERCOT reports about 474 GW of large loads seeking interconnection as of June 2026, about 90% of them data centers. Official record ercot.com ↗
On Sep 21 2026 the Governor directed TCEQ to halt all permits sought by data centers until ERCOT completes its audit. TCEQ's compliance update is due to the Governor on Oct 19 2026. Official record gov.texas.gov ↗
ERCOT plans to file its Batch Zero eligibility and community-impact reports with the PUC by Dec 10 2026, and has paused energizing new large-load data centers until the verification and audit are complete (ERCOT, Sep 11). Official record ercot.com ↗

What this means for sellers: state permits for data centers are on hold and ERCOT has paused energizing new large loads, so near-term work tilts toward projects that already have building registrations, local approvals or on-site power. Watch the Oct 19 and Dec 10 dates.
