Bull Thesis
Texas grid headwinds are overblown and short-lived, leaving SRE's growth trajectory intact.
2. Timeline risk contained
- Base case delay of months not years lowers estimate risk for SRE's Texas growth.
3. Overhang is mostly noise
- Mizuho characterizes Texas grid overhang as mostly timing and noise.
Bear Thesis
Texas regulatory scrutiny is intensifying and may harden into multi-year permitting constraints, raising execution risk for SRE.
1. Heightened political noise signals material risk
- Elevated political and regulatory noise persisting into 2027 raises timeline uncertainty.
2. Potential for tighter permitting and delays
- Scrutiny could tighten permitting and extend timelines beyond current expectations.

Bear Plane
Texas contacts generally view current friction around large loads and transmission as temporary, with infrastructure still needed to support growth.

The base case remains for delays of months rather than years, with Batch Zero and load growth ultimately proceeding.

Elevated political and regulatory noise is expected into the 2027 legislative session, with Texas Senate committees scrutinizing transmission siting, property rights, and data center impacts, which could tighten permitting and timelines.
