Data centers are a topic of interest in the news lately. In Denton, two projects are currently under development: Core Scientific and Qumulus. The community is wondering how these facilities will affect the local electric and water systems.

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT, evaluates projects that are expected to use over 75 megawatts of power. Core Scientific underwent this evaluation and received ERCOT approval.

Further information about the data centers and their interaction with Denton Municipal Electric can be found in the Cross Timbers Gazette.
