Bitdeer strongly supports Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s drive towards standards and guidelines for data centers. It reflects our own long-standing commitment to being a responsible, community-first digital infrastructure developer. Since starting operations in Rockdale, Texas in 2019, Bitdeer has held itself to high standards of transparency and being a good neighbor. It’s a model we have adopted wherever we operate - building sustainably through thoughtful engineering, paying our own way and actively supporting the grid, stewardship of local water resources, hiring locally and expanding the local tax base. We will work with the Public Utilities Commission of Texas (PUCT) and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) to ensure that our development strengthens, and is not at the expense of local communities and families.
