The purpose of this legislation is to amend an existing law from 1978, known as the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act, to prevent certain electric utilities from passing on the costs associated with large data centers to residential and small business consumers. The goal is to ensure that these consumers do not bear the financial burden of infrastructure upgrades needed to support the energy demands of these data centers. Key provisions of the law include a clear prohibition on covered utilities recovering costs related to data centers from residential and small business customers.
