What the filing saysLOWER CONFIDENCE. Austin Energy is a city-owned utility with no adopted data center tariff. Its stated policy is that a proposed large load pays 100% of the infrastructure needed when the utility cannot support the development. City Council members announced in August 2026 an intent to ban large and hyperscale data centers inside city limits. Older high-load-factor schedules applied to 20 MW with an 85% load factor, but the current FY2027 schedule was not confirmed.
