According to Cointelegraph, Texas is witnessing a significant shift in energy demand dynamics, with artificial intelligence (AI) data centers now leading the surge in large-load power requests, surpassing the demand previously driven by Bitcoin miners. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), responsible for managing the state's independent power grid, has reported a substantial increase in its large-load interconnection queue, which has reached 226 gigawatts of new requests. Notably, approximately 73% of these requests are linked to AI facilities. Developers have submitted 225 large-load requests this year alone, while ERCOT is currently evaluating 1,999 generation proposals totaling 432 gigawatts. Despite the impressive numbers, the growth in load demand is outpacing supply. The generation queue is predominantly filled with solar and battery projects, which do not provide the continuous power supply required by AI data centers. This discrepancy poses potential challenges for future grid reliability and investment. State regulators are actively working to address these challenges. New regulations are being crafted to classify any customer requesting 75 megawatts or more as a 'special handling' case. Additionally, ERCOT has significantly increased the number of transmission projects under review to accommodate the growing demand. The Miner Mag highlights the contrast between the current AI-driven power demand and the previous boom from Bitcoin miners. While Bitcoin miners were once major power consumers in Texas, their operations often contributed positively to grid stability by curtailing activities during peak demand periods. A study by the Digital Asset Research Institute estimated that Bitcoin miners helped save the state approximately $18 billion. However, the landscape is evolving as many miners and digital asset operators shift their focus towards AI computing to meet the rising demand for GPU capacity. An example of this transition is Mike Novogratz’s Galaxy, which recently secured $460 million to transform its former Bitcoin mining site in Texas into a large-scale AI data center.
