Residents turned in a petition with more than 1,400 signatures for a citizen ordinance that would pause data centers in Taylor until the city creates a special zoning district for them. City Council did not adopt it or put it on the ballot, saying Texas law does not let cities change zoning by popular vote. Council members said they will handle data centers through the city plan and development code instead.

Depending on where you live in Taylor City: Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (company) or City of Bartlett (not available) or Pedernales Electric Co-op, Inc. (co-op (owned by its members)) or Bluebonnet Electric Co-op, Inc. (co-op (owned by its members)) or Bartlett Electric Co-op, Inc. (co-op (owned by its members)).

In much of Texas you can pick who sells you power, but this company owns the power lines.

Big data centers need a lot of power. Who pays for new power lines depends on state rules. See the rules in Texas.
