A growing number of states are establishing distinct rate classes and tariffs for large energy users, such as data centers, to ensure these customers bear the full costs and risks of their significant grid impacts and protect other ratepayers from undue cost-shifting. These state actions come amid a broad federal push to support data center growth through streamlined regulation and infrastructure development.

Several U.S. states have enacted or are considering legislation to manage the electricity costs and infrastructure impacts of large-load customers, particularly data centers. These energy-intensive facilities are expected to consume up to 12 percent of total U.S. electricity by 2028, up from 4.4 percent in 2023, according to the U.S. Energy Department.
