Blocks utility companies from charging residential and small business customers for large data center costs.
This bill would stop investor-owned electric companies from charging residential and small business customers for costs associated with large data centers. It would make sure these customers don't pay for new power grid upgrades needed by these centers. State regulators would have to put these new rules in place quickly.
Today, investor-owned electric companies can often include the costs of large data centers and related power grid upgrades in the electricity rates charged to residential and small business customers. If this bill becomes law, these companies would be banned from passing those specific costs on to those customer groups.
