OpenAI is constructing a 390-megawatt data center in Denton, Texas, expected to double the city's electricity demand by 2030. This facility, aimed at supporting AI operations, poses risks to Texas's already strained grid and could lead to increased utility bills for Denton's 160,000 residents. Core Scientific, currently acquiring the land, highlights the surge in AI infrastructure needs. Local officials are hurrying to enhance grid capabilities amid concerns over sustainable energy resource management.
