CoreWeave CEO Michael Intrator sent a letter to Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa offering to collaborate on data center growth standards. The outreach followed election-campaign proposals in Texas for pauses or stricter oversight on AI infrastructure power and water usage.
CoreWeave stock (CRWV) moved up modestly, gaining around 6% to trade near $46.40–$46.50—rebounding from its recent 52-week low of $40.58. Despite the modest daily rise, the stock remains under heavy pressure (down over 45% in the trailing 30 days) due to broader sector shifts, elevated interest/capital expense guidance, and scrutiny over AI hyperscaler grid demands ahead of its Q3 earnings report.
Cooperation Request: CoreWeave requested that permitted/under-construction facilities be allowed to finish, offering to assist the incoming administration in setting durable environmental and power-connection standards for future sites. The company pledged that local communities should not shoulder grid or utility connection costs and highlighted its intent to align early with regional infrastructure requirements.
Operational Scope: CoreWeave maintains multiple Texas data centers (including sites in Austin, Plano, Denton, and Richardson) within its active global footprint.
