Montera Infrastructure affirms its commitment to transparency and responsible development standards for Texas data cente

Montera Infrastructure, an engineering-led developer and operator of hyperscale data centers, announced on August 7, 2026 that it supports Texas Governor Greg Abbott's call for clear standards and greater transparency around data center development in the state. In a letter to the Governor, Founder and CEO Eanna Murphy confirmed the company's commitment to meeting the standards outlined, including transparency around power use, water consumption and community impact. Montera pledged to provide required disclosures through the state's review process and to support annual reporting of electricity and water use to the Public Utility Commission of Texas.

Murphy stated that Texas has an opportunity to lead the nation in responsible data center growth while strengthening its position as a leading technology hub. He emphasized that such growth must strengthen grid reliability, protect ratepayers and earn the trust of Texas communities, and that Montera is committed to building projects Texans can stand behind.

Montera's approach to responsible infrastructure begins at the design stage. Its data centers use closed-loop water systems to minimize the use of local water supplies for cooling, while site designs incorporate setbacks and noise mitigation measures to protect neighboring communities. The company also funds the full cost of its own interconnection agreements, ensuring its developments do not add those costs to residential utility bills.

These commitments reflect Montera's broader owner-operator approach, taking responsibility for infrastructure from site selection and power strategy through development and long-term operations. Murphy added that the company welcomes rigorous and transparent standards, noting that responsible development requires certainty for communities, utilities, customers and developers, with commitments around power, water and community impact built into projects from the start.

Montera is backed by Stonepeak, an alternative investment firm specializing in infrastructure and real assets with approximately 87 billion dollars of assets under management. The company's leadership team includes industry veterans with extensive experience at Google, Oracle, Equinix and Yondr, collectively having delivered more than eight gigawatts of data center facilities to market.
