Establishes the "accountability of costs for data centers act"
AMENDED ON THIRD READING 9039B
Summary
The bill forces electric, gas and municipal utilities to create a distinct service class for large energy‑use facilities—defined as sites with 20 MW or more of peak demand used for computing, data processing, web hosting, streaming support or related services. All infrastructure, rate‑of‑return and other costs tied to those facilities must be billed to them, and an annual price‑adjustment mechanism must be established. It targets utilities, large data‑center operators, and the public service commission to keep other customers from subsidizing these high‑usage sites.
