"To promote fiscal equity, regulatory policies should mandate that high-volume resource consumers, such as data centers, cover the associated infrastructure and environmental costs, eliminating the need for taxpayer subsidies."
No public reasoning provided.
Data Center Consumer Ratepayer Protection Act would set guidelines for how electric suppliers and regulators address the rising energy demands of large data centers, cryptocurrency mining operations and artificial intelligence facilities. The bill defines "large load customers" as new facilities adding 75 megawatts or more of demand and clarifies that residential, commercial and traditional industrial customers are not included in that classification.
The fact that a bill like this is having to be ran, shows that our legislature works for the system and not protecting the people's rights. This should be common sense and at the forefront of all negotiations for businesses to come into Ok.
Bill protects consumers from absorbing costs of data center infrastructure
The public must be protected from escalating costs associated with the creation and operations of data centers!
