根据 Enverus Intelligence Research 的一份报告，到 2040 年，减排目标和加密货币开采可能会使电力需求增加一倍，并威胁到西德克萨斯州的电网。
Enverus Intelligence Research (EIR) 在 4 月 30 日的一份报告中表示，随着石油和天然气运营商转向电气化以减少排放，其原因可能是西德克萨斯州电网超载。
EIR 高级研究员 Riley Prescott 表示：“由于电气化趋势和加密货币采矿业的增长，到 2040 年，德克萨斯州远西地区的电力需求将增加一倍以上。” “我们相信，ERCOT 的远西地区将出现足够的负荷增长，以支持更多的可再生能源开发，而无需限电。”
然而，在未来几年内，该地区将需要大规模的发电建设来满足预测的负荷需求。

Emissions reduction targets and cryptocurrency mining could double power demand and threaten the grid in West Texas by 2040, according to a report by Enverus Intelligence Research.
As oil and gas operators move to electrification to reduce emissions, the causality could be an overloaded West Texas electricity grid, Enverus Intelligence Research (EIR) said in an April 30 report.
“We see Far West Texas power demand more than doubling by 2040 due to electrification trends and cryptocurrency mining growth,” said Riley Prescott, senior associate at EIR. “We believe the Far West zone in ERCOT will see enough load growth to support significantly more renewable development without curtailments."
However, within the next few years the region will need a large power generation buildout to meet forecast load demand.
