What happened

Well supportedReported by 10 independent outlets

High-profile legislation concerning data centers stalled in the Senate after securing overwhelming support in the House. The House bill required state utility commissions to evaluate rules forcing data center operators who require massive power to pay for infrastructure upgrades, such as new power generation or transmission lines. The proposal aimed to codify portions of President Donald Trump’s voluntary Ratepayer Protection Pledge.
