Meitner Sets the Panhandle Playbook: Own the Generation, Fund the Watershed

Google's Meitner Energy Center pairs a gigawatt of owned generation with air cooling and Texas Water Impact Fund dollars before a single rack goes live, setting a template the Panhandle's other gigawatt-class announcements haven't matched. While PJM stares down a 76% wholesale price jump and a possible breakup, Texas developers who sequence tenant, generation, and watershed commitments in that order are clearing queues their competitors are still standing in.
