What happened
Utility bills are climbing across Ohio, with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio reporting that 15 of 16 metro areas saw higher year-over-year electric bills last month. Ashtabula led the pack in bill increases, alongside Cleveland. In response to these rising costs, Vivek Ramaswamy has promised free electricity for residents living near data centers.

Why it matters
The increase in utility costs is influenced by state and federal policies, as well as decisions made by PJM Interconnect. Data centers are noted for consuming significant energy, leading politicians to propose fixes like restrictions on data centers and new requirements for state regulators.
