Governor Abbott,


Nightpeak Energy thanks you for articulating clear standards our industry is expected to follow as we develop data center infrastructure in Texas. We are a Texas-owned developer/owner/operator of dispatchable generation and data center infrastructure, and we understand that these standards are critical to protect the state’s citizens, communities, and resources.

In particular, Nightpeak commits to:

  • Paying our own way
  • Providing our own power for large loads
  • Protecting Texas’ water resources
  • Reducing impacts to our neighbors and communities
  • Providing all requested project ownership and controlling interests
  • Completing any other data or information requests

Nightpeak is excited to continue working in Texas and employing Texans to build and operate our power and load facilities. We look forward to providing all requested information in the coming days and delivering tremendous value for the state in the years to come.

Sincerely,

Paris Hays
Chief Executive Officer
Nightpeak Energy
