No market in the country is growing like Texas. While data centers, hyperscalers, and large industrial loads are driving growth projections that stretch into the hundreds of gigawatts, the race to meet that demand in ERCOT is creating one of the biggest opportunities the industry has seen. For developers and EPCs, the question is simple and urgent: how do I enter this market – and make money doing it?
This luncheon answers it from the inside. Maura Yates, CEO and Co-Founder of Mothership Energy, brings a practitioner’s view of what’s happening at the negotiating table. She’ll explore how the state’s biggest data center and industrial deals are being structured, where developer margin survives in this competitive market, and how large-load interconnection is rewriting procurement timelines.
She’s joined by a fellow market leader for a rare look at how one of Texas’ largest players is planning around this level of demand.
Peter Kelly-Detwiler moderates, pushing past the headlines into the mechanics: which loads are real versus speculative, how ERCOT’s planning is adapting in real time, and — critically — what an outside developer needs to do to break in.
