Texas Was Asked for 474 GW of Power. Here's the Catch
What the video covers
Texas received requests for about 474 GW of new large loads by June 2026, more than five times its record peak, and about 90% of it is data centres. But only 4,132 MW was actually in use in September 2026, out of 9,456 MW approved to switch on. Requests are not demand.
