States would lose highway funds if they don't make big businesses pay for their own power grid upgrades.
This bill would require states to make large businesses, like data centers, pay the full cost of any power grid upgrades needed just for them. If a state doesn't put these new rules in place, it would lose all of its federal highway money. This aims to shift upgrade costs from regular utility customers to the biggest energy users.
Today, there are no federal rules requiring large businesses to pay the full, extra costs for power grid upgrades needed just for them. This bill would create federal standards to make sure these large businesses, like data centers, pay 100% of those upgrade costs. States that don't put these standards into practice would lose all of their federal highway funds.
