Texas Clean Energy

Enchanted Rock is proud to participate in the Texas Clean Energy Summit, where the future of Texas energy takes center stage. With the state now leading the nation in installed solar capacity and energy storage deployment accelerating, demand from data centers, AI, crypto, and industrial sectors continues to push the limits of existing infrastructure. As legislative and regulatory frameworks evolve, particularly in the wake of the 89th Texas Legislative Session, this summit offers timely insights into how changes in policy, permitting, interconnection, and grid reliability will shape clean energy development across the ERCOT market.

Join us and other key players—including developers, asset owners, policymakers, and financiers—as we address pressing challenges such as load growth, federal incentive shifts, firming requirements, and the expanding energy needs of digital infrastructure. From grid resilience and project finance trends to AI-driven demand and risk mitigation strategies, this event offers critical context for those driving Texas’ clean energy transformation.

Speaking Session: Preparing the Grid for Data Centers, AI & Other Large Energy Users

📅 Tuesday, August 26^th, 2025 | 🕒 1:20 PM – 2:15 PM CT

Austin, TX

Large energy users of all kinds are proliferating in TX, particularly data centers, and the advent of AI is super-charging this trend. The grid itself, as well as market monitors and ERCOT system operators, must be prepared and planning for the future to ensure that there are enough resources for a stable grid, so that weather events do not become crises during this period.
