BloombergNEF estimated Texas’s pause places 20% of the U.S. data-center pipeline at risk of delay.

BloombergNEF estimated that the Texas pause puts 20% of the U.S. data-center development pipeline at risk of delay. The percentage concerns projects in the pipeline, not 20% of existing operational U.S. data-center capacity.

BNEF’s analysis linked the risk directly to the length of the moratorium. Its analysts said the longer the pause remains in force, the greater the risk to Texas’s data-center expansion.

The supplied source does not provide an absolute megawatt or gigawatt value for the affected 20%. It also does not state that all of the projects will be cancelled; the identified risk is delay.
