Public Service Commission; costs incurred by an electric utility as a result of providing electric services to commercial data centers from being included in any rates; prohibit

The bill bars electric utilities from including expenses tied to serving large‑load customers, such as commercial data centers, in general rates unless those rates are meant to recover the costs from the large customers themselves. It also requires utilities to include specific terms in contracts with these large users. The goal is to keep ordinary consumers from paying for the extra fuel, generation, and transmission needs created by data centers.

The bill has cleared committee with a favorable report and has strong co‑sponsorship, suggesting leadership support, but most GA bills still stall before a floor vote.
