Texas energy agencies have responded to a directive from the governor regarding data centers. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas and the Public Utility Commission of Texas have taken initial steps to regulate large energy consumers. These agencies are now seeking additional authority from lawmakers to further address the issue.

They have called on the state legislature to expand their authority, allowing them to better regulate large energy users. Further details on the directive and the agencies' response are available from Houston Public Media, providing more information on the developments and the potential impact on the state's energy landscape.
