Electric utilities; cost recovery, costs substantially related to serving data center customers.

Summary

The bill bars Virginia electric utilities from including in general rates any costs that exist only because large data centers (100 MW+ peak demand) draw power, unless the rates are structured to recover those costs solely from the data‑center customers. It targets investor‑owned utilities regulated by the State Corporation Commission and aims to protect other customers from paying for the extra demand created by big data facilities.
