Texas Regulator Says Filing System Is Temporarily Down for Data Center Review

Texas’ environmental regulator has temporarily taken down its electronic reporting system while staff review data-center applications, adding a new development to a state permitting pause tied to grid reliability. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) says its State of Texas Environmental Electronic Reporting System (STEERS) is temporarily down while staff review applications related to data centers. The notice does not give a date for when the system went offline or when it will return. On Sept. 21, Gov. Greg Abbott directed TCEQ to pause issuing permits related to data-center projects until the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) completes its review.
