Texas power grid under pressure as AI data centers drive soaring energy demand
As North Texas experiences another wave of extreme heat, the state’s power grid is under mounting pressure, but not only because of surging air conditioning usage. Energy experts point to a new and rapidly growing source of demand—artificial intelligence data centers. These massive facilities operate around the clock, consuming enormous amounts of electricity and requiring constant cooling, adding complexity to an already strained system. According to energy ana
