"New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill signed legislation this week that aims to protect ratepayers as the increasing demand for data centers threatens a surge in electricity bills. Specifically, the new law creates a separate ratepayer class for data centers to prevent energy costs from being passed down to other utility customers. The bill also requires data centers to pay for the electrical and clean energy infrastructure upgrades they create." https://whyy.org/articles/new-jersey-data-center-legislation-governor-mikie-sherrill/ #BYOG
