Summary
The Power for the People Act would encourage the creation of special load‑queue systems and separate electricity rate categories for large data centers. It seeks to stop households and businesses from subsidizing the rapidly growing power use of data centers and to protect grid reliability. The measure reflects concerns that data centers could drive up electricity prices and strain the grid.
