Mining Weekly: ERCOT Restarts Texas AI and Mining Power Queue

According to a report by Bijie Network: The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has proposed significant reforms to the grid connection process for large electricity users in Texas, such as artificial intelligence data centers and bitcoin mining facilities. Instead of the previous individual approval process, batch approvals will now be conducted every six months to address the 250 GW electricity gap. The plan introduces a phased, gradually increasing power allocation approach, prioritizing projects that demonstrate flexibility and readiness, and abandoning the first-come, first-served model.
