The three mining companies' power phases diverged... Abbott orders Texas environmental agency to halt permits

Texas has paused data-center permit approvals, leaving three bitcoin miners in different power-supply positions: Core Scientific’s existing 297MW at its Denton site is still being supplied, its existing 300MW at Pecos is classified as conditional base load with a further 300MW still awaiting final allocation, and Hunt’s planned 431MW is in conditional review. The freeze began separately from the election, in which Democrat Gina Hinojosa won the Texas governor’s race with 5,237,089 votes to Republican incumbent Greg Abbott’s 4,524,527. The split matters because it determines which mining capacity can keep drawing power while new permits are stalled. Next, watch the final allocation of Core Scientific’s additional 300MW at Pecos and whether Hunt’s 431MW clears conditional review.
