Expert Statements
Elgin Tracy, Chief Operating Officer of AZIO AI Holdings, Inc.
“Texas is not turning against data centers. It is turning against data centers that expect everyone else to carry their costs and their risk.”
Elgin Tracy, Chief Operating Officer of AZIO AI Holdings, Inc.
“We are not waiting in a 474-gigawatt line, and we are not asking Texas ratepayers to fund a new substation. Behind-the-meter is not a loophole. The closer a project is to being self-supplied, the less it depends on policy decisions that are now in flux.”
Elgin Tracy, Chief Operating Officer of AZIO AI Holdings, Inc.
“Texas now asks for proof of site control, financial commitment and real data. That favors developers who build in sequence over those who announce gigawatts first.”
Elgin Tracy, Chief Operating Officer of AZIO AI Holdings, Inc.
“We would rather build a business that holds up under stricter rules than one that depends on loose ones, and be straight with regulators and investors about what is done and what is still ahead.”
