Digital Realty Welcomes Governor Abbott’s Initiative for Responsible and Transparent Data Center Investment in Texas

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR), the world’s largest cloud- and carrier-neutral data center platform, today reaffirmed its commitment to responsible data center growth in Texas, pledging to work with elected officials, regulators, utilities, and local communities to ensure that data center investment benefits Texans.

As demand for artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and other digital services accelerates, Texas has become one of the nation’s most important locations for digital infrastructure investment and job creation. Sustaining that growth responsibly will require a continued focus on grid reliability, consumer protection, and responsible resource management.

“Governor Abbott is putting Texans first and we are committed to doing the same,” said Andy Power, President and Chief Executive Officer of Digital Realty. “We are proud to be a Texas headquartered company, and it is incumbent upon our industry to engage constructively, address legitimate concerns, and provide solutions that work for all Texans.”

As we have done for decades, Digital Realty supports efforts to maintain grid reliability, protect consumers, promote responsible resource management, and provide transparency around data center development.

“We look forward to supporting Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), the Public Utility Commission of Texas, utilities, policymakers, and other stakeholders through this process. Together, we can build trust and confidence and strengthen the state’s leadership position in the digital economy,” Power added.
