Senate Committee Favorably Reported By Substitute
Summary
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.
