U.S. grid operators and utilities are intensifying winter preparedness efforts to ensure reliable electricity supplies, even as rising demand and supply constraints heighten the risk of energy shortfalls during extreme cold events.
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…Read the full report…...
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.
