Data-center developers face a new approval map after the midterms, starting in Texas

Data-center developers face a new approval map after the midterms, starting in Texas

Texas governor-elect Gina Hinojosa campaigned on banning data-center approvals until the legislature passes new laws, adding to local moratoriums, zoning denials and an August grid-connection halt. The Data Center Coalition said its members would continue their Texas build-out while working with state and local governments. Under an ERCOT process being finalized, projects must certify local approvals to qualify for accelerated interconnection.

  • 01Texas governor-elect Gina Hinojosa pledged to ban data-center approvals until the legislature passes new laws, Reuters reported.
  • 02The Data Center Coalition said members would keep building in Texas while working with state and local governments.
  • 03Under an ERCOT process being finalized, projects must certify local approvals to qualify for accelerated interconnection, Argus reported.

Sunergise buys Infratec to move from rooftops into utility-scale solar

Sunergise buys Infratec to move from rooftops into utility-scale solar

Sunergise is buying Infratec from WEL Networks for an undisclosed price. The commercial rooftop specialist, which has installed more than 50MW, gains utility-scale project delivery capability it did not have before.

  • 01By megawatts, the buyer is the smaller company: Sunergise has installed more than 50MW since 2012, while Infratec has built 194MW of solar and 49MWh of batteries.
  • 02Customers with live projects at either company keep their existing contracts and service commitments, but whether Infratec keeps its own name is still undecided.

TGS plans $100M Perito Moreno expansion to move 4.5M more cubic meters a day

TGS plans $100M Perito Moreno expansion to move 4.5M more cubic meters a day

Transportadora de Gas del Sur (TGS) wants to spend $100 million adding 4.5 million cubic meters a day to Argentina's Perito Moreno pipeline, which carries 21 million today. The request awaits Energy Secretariat approval. It comes alongside a $550 million compression project due by late April 2027 that will add 14 million cubic meters a day.

  • 01The $100 million add-on comes alongside an ongoing $550 million compression project on the same pipeline, and TGS plans to submit $70 million of the new spending under Argentina's RIGI investment incentive regime.
  • 02If the compression work and the 4.5 million option both deliver, Perito Moreno's first phase could carry substantially more than its current 21 million cubic meters a day.
  • 03Two milestones could set the pace: the Energy Secretariat's decision on TGS's October 8 request, and late April 2027, when three compression plants are scheduled to add 14 million cubic meters a day.
