Data Center needing urgently solar
The Disconnect: While the grid operates on a peak of roughly 90 GW, the requested capacity in the ERCOT interconnection queue has ballooned to 445 GW. This figure represents total prospective demand from industrial users, data centers, crypto mining, and oil/gas processing
In Texas 6x Energy gigawatts need than curent Capacity Established.
Therefore solar needed cauz. .nuclear energy takes 5 -10 yrs to build.
Construction has been infrequent. Recent major projects like Vogtle 3 & 4 (completed 2023–2024) took over a decade from the start of construction, hindered by design changes, workforce shortages, and complex licensing processes..
Projects like Olkiluoto 3 (Finland) and Flamanville 3 (France) became notorious for multi-year delays, taking nearly 15–20 years from start to grid connection. These projects often suffer from "lost competence" in the supply chain and intense regulatory scrutiny.
