Energy - As introduced, enacts the "Bring Your Own Generation Act." - Amends TCA Section 39-17-1002; Section 67-6-102 and Title 68.

Summary

The Bring Your Own Generation (BYOG) Act adds a new chapter to Tennessee law that imposes a clean‑energy surcharge on any data center or AI facility with a peak demand of 100 MW or more. Those facilities must also produce at least 50 % of their electricity from new carbon‑free sources on‑site or via direct interconnection, and they cannot use fossil‑fuel power purchase agreements to qualify for state incentives. The measure aims to shift large energy users toward clean power without raising costs for other customers.
