AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would add a federal standard that electric utilities charge customers using 100 megawatts or more at one site, such as data centers, the full added cost of the power plant and line upgrades needed to serve them. Utilities would have to collect financial assurances from these customers before building those upgrades. State regulators and non-state-regulated utilities would have to consider adopting these standards, and ways for large customers to supply their own new power, within set deadlines. The bill would also create a 30 percent tax credit for extra power generation that large-load projects make available to other utilities, and a 30 percent tax credit for water recycling projects, each available for 10 years.
