An Act relating to data centers; and relating to utility service for data centers.

Summary

The bill amends Alaska utility law so electric and gas utilities must sign contracts with data centers and can only include in rates the costs that are solely for serving those data centers. It also forces detailed accounting of infrastructure costs, backup power plans, and a community benefit agreement with the municipality before approval. The aim is to prevent data centers from shifting utility costs or reliability risks to other customers.
