Galaxy Texas data centers win conditional ERCOT Batch Zero large-load classifications amid PUC audit
GLXY•Timeline uncertainty around the audit
ERCOT expects the audit to take several months, creating uncertainty around interconnection timelines and risking reclassification or removal from Batch Zero.
Project-by-project classification details
Helios I (800 MW) and Helios II (830 MW) were classified as Base Load, reducing exposure to further transmission capacity allocation.
Caspian (700 MW), Selene (900 MW), and Helios III (1,000 MW) were classified as Studied Load, leaving capacity subject to allocation.
Conditional Batch Zero classifications during ERCOT audit
Texas regulators allowed ERCOT to issue conditional “Batch Zero” classifications while it audits data center projects in the interconnection queue.
Five Galaxy Digital Texas data center projects received conditional ERCOT classifications covering about 4.2 gigawatts of gross power capacity.
