Map · ERCOT

Where Texas data centers are — and where they want to be.

Every publicly disclosed Texas data center, AI greenfield, and crypto-pivot site, plotted against real-time ERCOT prices and the Batch Zero / PCLR deadline clock. Built from press releases, SEC filings, and ERCOT meeting materials. The wedge is the regulatory friction layered on top, not the map itself.

Counties to watch

Where flexible load operates in Texas today

ERCOT's PCLR (Provisional Controllable Load Resource) declaration window doesn't open until July 24, 2026, so there's no public list of PCLR participants. ERCOT's CLR registry and the PUCT crypto-miner registry are also non-public. The counties below are the ones with operating flex load today, sourced per-site from SEC filings and direct company disclosures — these are the most likely first declarants when PCLR opens.

PCLR exposure

Where ERCOT will dial you down most

PCLR isn't gated by county — every ERCOT-area large load can declare. The cut that matters is curtailment frequency, which varies sharply by hub. Panhandle and West Texas sit on the wind-export bottleneck and clear most often; South Texas least. The map above tells you where the demand is; this one tells you which of those sites will see the most curtailment events.

Concentration

Disclosed MW per ERCOT zone

The disclosed pipeline is not evenly distributed. The North zone (DFW metro) and West Texas absorb most of the announced AI capacity. PCLR / Batch Zero allocation is decided per-node, not per-zone, but zone-level concentration is the first proxy for where the constraint study will bite.

Methodology

What this map is — and isn't

A leadgen visualization, not an authoritative datacenter registry. Use it to see the shape of the disclosed pipeline against the live regulatory clock. Don't use it for parcel-level diligence.

Sources

Official press releases, SEC filings (10-Ks, S-1s), ERCOT Large Load Workshop slide decks, and major-trade-press coverage. Each site entry carries the source citation; click a site to see it.

Coordinates

Lat/lon are city or county centroids unless a specific facility was publicly geocoded. Precision is sufficient for state-wide visualization, not for parcel work.

MW values

Public nameplate or disclosed targets, not metered demand. Phased campuses show the full disclosed envelope, not the energized portion. Expect ±15%.
