Texas power demand could quadruple by 2032, according to ERCOT.⁠ ⁠ But there’s a catch: ERCOT says the forecast is a “snapshot,” not a prediction, and experts say many of the projects driving that number may never get built.⁠ ⁠ “There’s just physically no way to connect that much load that fast,” one energy researcher said.⁠ ⁠ Still, demand is rising fast, especially from data centers powering AI, and it could impact costs for everyone. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #ERCOT #TexasEnergy #PowerGrid #DataCenters #AI #DFW #TexasNews #Energy #Infrastructure #Climate
