Yeah, I imagine the language is something like “data centers must pay for last mile infrastructure” meaning the transmission lines from the DC to a nearby substation, while everyone else has to pay for the utility company to build new power plants to meet the demand requirements.

Guys, I have an announcement: I read the article Some who voted against the bill worried about an amendment to the original proposal that, in limited circumstances, will allow utilities to allocate portions of the infrastructure costs across the broader system, rather than charging only the data center, if the upgrades also benefit other customers or improve or replace existing infrastructure. So yeah, it’s bullshit
