Searching for "267%", I think the source of this claim is a misinterpretation of Bloomberg's September article on datacenters: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2025-ai-data-centers-elec...

I that article, 267% represents the highest increase seen. It's not any sort of average. It's odd that it's reappeared in this article now.

I can't see the article- but a little research on ERCOT's wholesale pricing maps reveals two things: 1) today's prices are somewhere between -$200 and +$200 and 2) theres 900+ discrete pricing locales in Texas.

And, here's a bit of reading on the process for a customer requiring >75MW: https://www.dlapiper.com/en-us/insights/publications/2026/03...

The headlines say more about where data centers are built and less around case and effect
