Receipts Week On Boots. Democrats took both chambers, Kansas and Texas flipped, and the letter signers lost their seats. Abby and I graded last week’s predictions, then got into permitting moving after everyone called it dead, Texas promising a data center moratorium, and the tariff math nobody wants to discuss. Including…
Texas Just Turned Blue. The incoming governor pledged a moratorium on new data center approvals until the legislature acts. Union labor, water, NDAs, tax subsidies all on her list. Abby and I worked through what the fastest-growing solar market in America should be asking for now.
Forty-One Out Of Forty-Two. Data center referendums went down almost everywhere they appeared. I dug into the one that passed, in Harwood, North Dakota, and came out with a number that reframes every siting fight ahead: 96% of America sits outside any city jurisdiction.

Manager’s Amendment. The bipartisan group of senators has offered a manager’s amendment to the permit reform bill covering some of the feedback they got from the Native American tribes and expanding on data center reporting transparency.
Project Level Procurement. Modules are at the center of the discussion with 232 planned to go into effect 12/4 (but expect at delay). Most everyone says, I don’t buy the modules but tracker vendors are now just as interested on what the status of module procurement is as the EPC, eBOS supplier et al. Projects without interconnection, modules, off taker and capital are no project at all. What’s your procurement strategy?

Prediction Validated. On a recent Boots on the Ground podcast I predicted that there would be consolidation in the solar/storage market and this week we got a merger between Shoals and Array. Congrats to the team, especially Shoals CEO Brandon Moss who will be leading the combined entity post close.
Permitting Bill Hot Takes. In today’s Wakeup Daily Briefing, I have a take on the permitting bill and what happens in the lame duck.
Best Headline. PV-magazine has a headline about communities today and it is the best (and most accurate) headline of the year. What do you want your Town to look like? Your voice as a voter and resident has never been stronger.
