Summary
Ionic Digital said it will fully join the verification and audit process run by the Public Utility Commission of Texas and ERCOT as Texas tightens oversight of data center growth.
Governor Greg Abbott’s push centers on grid reliability and responsible development, and Ionic said it supports stricter planning, transparency and coordination with regulators, utilities and local communities.
The Nasdaq-listed company said its Ward County campus has already brought capital investment and long-term operations to West Texas, while it remains committed to further investment in the state.
Ionic framed the audit as a chance to set a clearer statewide framework for future data center expansion while protecting ratepayers and keeping the electric system reliable as AI-driven power demand rises.
