Bernstein analysts said Texas' decision to pause approvals for data center projects seeking to connect to the state grid is unlikely to materially hurt most Bitcoin mining companies operating in the state. According to the firm, many Texas mining sites have already secured approved power capacity contracts, which shields existing operators from the immediate effect of the review. The move follows an order from Texas Governor Greg Abbott for the Public Utility Commission of Texas, or PUCT, and grid operator ERCOT to review all pending data center grid interconnection applications in response to power system strain and public pushback tied to rapid data center expansion. Bernstein said the review is likely to curb speculative projects while raising the value of sites with a development track record and approved power resources. The analysts added that miners with long construction cycles, self-built infrastructure, and local operating experience could benefit, while expansion plans at Cipher Mining, Core Scientific, and CleanSpark may face approval pressure. IREN and Riot Platforms, by contrast, may hold a stronger competitive position because they already have ERCOT-approved power capacity.
