Data Centres: Boom and BacklashBackground
Power Magazine, styled POWER by its own masthead, is a US energy-industry trade publication that has covered power generation and grid infrastructure since 1882. It is now published by Access Intelligence LLC and extends its beat to data-centre interconnection policy.
In August 2026 it reported BloombergNEF's assessment that Governor Greg Abbott's audit of data-centre interconnections in Texas could delay projects representing up to 49.8 GW of load and cost developers as much as $15bn . Its coverage carried on-record reaction from the Data Center Coalition and QTS Data Centers, and quoted Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller's criticism that Abbott's directive was too vague and should be replaced with formal legislation.
The title's trade-press access to operator and regulator reaction makes it a first port of call for market-moving detail on US grid-connection disputes that general news outlets cover more thinly.
