Requires data centers to pay more for electricity, potentially lowering energy bills for homes and businesses.
This bill would make data centers pay their fair share for the electricity they use, which could help lower energy bills for everyday Americans. New rules would be created for how data centers connect to the power grid and how much they are charged for electricity, shifting costs away from regular households and businesses.
Today, households and businesses often help pay for the growing energy needs of data centers through higher electricity bills. This bill would change that by requiring federal and state actions to make data centers pay for their full share of electricity costs, including grid upgrades. This means data centers would face new rules for connecting to the grid and could be charged special rates, aiming to reduce costs for other electricity users.
