Anyone in Houston's industrial trades seeing more work from all these data center projects?
I've been following the growth in electricity demand across Texas pretty closely through my work in industrial power markets.
With all the data centers coming into ERCOT, I'm curious if that demand is actually translating into more work for local electrical contractors, engineering firms, and industrial service companies.
Are y'all seeing more projects, higher pay, or longer lead times? Especially curious about those working across manufacturing plants, chemical facilities, and other industrial sites around Houston.
