Texas Surges as Clean Energy Powers Data Centers and Grids
In the past 48 hours, the clean energy industry shows robust growth driven by strategic partnerships, grid upgrades, and surging demand from AI data centers, with Texas leading solar breakthroughs.
Texas ERCOT grid hit a milestone: solar farms are set to outpace coal generation for the full 2025 year, powering nearly all capacity growth alongside battery storage—twice California's new solar[1]. ERCOT approved a 9 billion dollar transmission expansion on December 9, building 765-kilovolt superhighways for reliability amid record data center applications straining the grid[1]. Winter outlooks improved versus prior years, though demand grows faster than supply[1].
Key deals abound: On December 11, Repsol sold a 43.8 percent stake in its 629-megawatt Outpost solar project to Stonepeak for 252.5 million dollars, optimizing U.S. renewables after a prior Texas solar farm tie-up[4]. NeoVolta advanced a 160-megawatt-hour storage collaboration with Luminia for California solar-plus-storage projects, leveraging U.S.-made, IRA-aligned systems[6][12]. Haffner Energy secured a major Canadian partnership on December 12 for a 5-megawatt biofuels project, expecting 4.2 million euros in revenue with gear in stock[8].
Tech-energy alliances accelerate: NextEra expanded with Google for gigawatt-scale AI data centers using clean power and AI grid tools, plus a 2.5-gigawatt solar-battery deal with Meta across U.S. markets starting 2026[2][10]. TotalEnergies paired with Equinix and Google for hybrid solar-battery-nuclear to ensure 24-7 carbon-free power[2].
No major regulatory shifts or disruptions emerged, but geothermal investment surges to meet rising demand[3][9]. Versus last week, activity intensified from ERCOT's December 5 real-time battery market launch, signaling faster scaling[1]. Leaders like NextEra respond by hybridizing renewables for reliability, countering intermittency as data centers double demand forecasts[10][11].
This positions clean energy for investor gains in low-emission infrastructure amid decarbonization[2]. (298 words)
