Texas PUC approved running the data center directly off the 204 MW Taygete II solar farm under the 2025 net metering law, rejecting Texas-New Mexico Power's request for extra conditions
Notes: The data center must shut off within 30 minutes of an ERCOT order in a grid emergency. Reported Oct. 19. A similar Amazon pairing at Comanche Peak nuclear plant (1,200 MW) goes to the PUC by about Dec. 12.
