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

Summary

The bill forces electric and gas utilities to sign approved contracts with data‑center customers and to charge those customers only for the costs directly tied to serving them. It also requires municipalities to negotiate benefit agreements, sets backup‑power and renewable priorities, and obligates a decommissioning plan for large data centers. The goal is to prevent utility rate‑payers from subsidizing data‑center projects and to capture local benefits.
