Texas is where the future of energy is being tested in real time. Despite a challenging political environment, the state leads the nation in renewable energy and storage deployment, thanks to its competitive energy market. At the same time, Texas is facing rapid data center growth, leading to accelerated build-out of gas plants and proposals that threaten the state’s clean energy trajectory. Join EDF and industry leaders to explore how growing demand can unlock opportunities for clean energy technologies and how to ensure policies and markets continue to support innovation, affordability, and climate goals.
