Texas Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa wants to suspend construction of new data centers until lawmakers establish state rules, putting the timetable for AI infrastructure expansion in Texas under political scrutiny.
The construction proposal echoes her campaign position on project approvals. That position called for a pause on approvals of new data centers until lawmakers adopted protections for residents. Her platform also proposed ending tax incentives for large facilities. Neither campaign measure has taken effect, and Hinojosa is scheduled to assume office in January.
The policy debate comes as companies building AI computing capacity face project delays, heavy capital spending and pressure to finance further expansion. Their ability to fulfill growing computing orders on schedule is also in question.
Nebius is due to release results before the market opens Thursday, Nov. 12. Its conference call is scheduled for 8 a.m. ET (13:00 UTC).
