The Georgia Senate Regulated Industries Committee has advanced a revised bill that removes explicit prohibitions against utilities passing data center infrastructure costs to residential ratepayers. The 9-3 vote signals a shift toward a more utility-friendly regulatory framework as the state balances tech investment with consumer energy affordability.
President Trump has introduced the 'Rate Payer Protection Pledge,' requiring major technology firms to construct dedicated power plants for their data centers. The move aims to decouple AI-driven energy demand from the public grid to prevent rising consumer electricity costs ahead of the midterm elections.
