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

Summary

The bill amends Virginia’s electric utility code to bar utilities from recovering the cost of building or extending distribution lines that mainly serve data centers from any other customers. It means data‑center owners will pay for the infrastructure they need, while residential and other commercial users won’t see those costs added to their bills. The change aims to keep electricity rates fair for the broader public.
