R. 8241 To promote the creation of data center load queues and data center- specific rate classes to mitigate the impact of data centers on other electricity consumers, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES April 9, 2026 Mr. Tonko (for himself, Ms. Castor of Florida, Mr. Cohen, Ms. Elfreth, Ms. Dexter, Mrs. Foushee, Mr. Garamendi, Mr. Goldman of New York, Mr. Lynch, Ms. Norton, Mr. Ivey, Mrs. McClain Delaney, Ms. McClellan, Mr. Mfume, Mr. Olszewski, Ms. Schakowsky, and Mr. Quigley) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To promote the creation of data center load queues and data center- specific rate classes to mitigate the impact of data centers on other electricity consumers, and for other purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Power for the People Act of 2026''. SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS. It is the sense of Congress that-- (1) because of current energy policies and electricity market structures, households and businesses are subsidizing data center development, paying the way for data centers through rising energy bills; (2) recent analysis indicates that data centers are set to more than double their electricity consumption, accounting for 6.7 percent to 12 percent of all energy demand by 2028, which is causing electricity prices to increase for ratepayers; (3) ratepayers should not be forced to take on the financial risks and costs of new infrastructure investments needed to support projected data center energy demands; (4) data center owners and operators should be held accountable for the increased energy costs that data centers are causing; (5)(A) the uniquely large size, rapidly increasing pace, and uncertain nature of projected energy demand from data centers are impacting both grid reliability and the affordability of electricity; (B) energy demand from data centers is also significantly impacting interstate commerce by putting a strain on the electric grid and causing reliability issues and energy costs to rise across State lines; and (C) therefore, increased Federal oversight is necessary to ensure that the interconnection of data centers to the electric grid does not create reliability or affordability risks; (6) data centers directly affect the transmission system and can increase transmission costs, regardless of whether they are connected directly to transmission facilities; (7) any policy solutions seeking to hold data center owners and operators accountable as described in paragraph (4) should also seek to minimize the climate and environmental impacts of data center development while creating good-paying jobs; (8) the Commission has authority, pursuant to the mandates to ensure just and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory rates (as established under sections 205 and 206 of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 824d, 824e) (including the standards developed under those sections)) and grid reliability (as established under section 215 of that Act (16 U.S.C. 824o) (including the standards developed under that section)), to require grid operators to create ``load queues'' for data centers that incentivize certain practices, including payment for required system upgrades and voluntary load flexibility; (9) grid operators, as part of their mandate to provide reliable transmission service, have the authority to create load queues specific to data centers that delay or deny interconnection in order to ensure reliability, and it is not ``unduly discriminatory'' to do so under the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.) because data centers, as a single customer class, constitute enough new load to overwhelm the electric grid if their interconnection to the electric grid is left unchecked; and (10)(A) some States are implementing processes to create rate classes specific to data centers, which are necessary to protect ratepayers from unfair costs and unnecessary risk, given the uncertain nature of data center energy demand projections and the high costs associated with the energy demands of data centers; and (B) rate classes specific to data centers should be adopted more broadly across all States to help ensure that, across the United States, energy system cost increases caused by data centers are paid for by data center owners and operators.

R. 8241 To promote the creation of data center load queues and data center- specific rate classes to mitigate the impact of data centers on other electricity consumers, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES April 9, 2026 Mr. Tonko (for himself, Ms. Castor of Florida, Mr. Cohen, Ms. Elfreth, Ms. Dexter, Mrs. Foushee, Mr. Garamendi, Mr. Goldman of New York, Mr. Lynch, Ms. Norton, Mr. Ivey, Mrs. McClain Delaney, Ms. McClellan, Mr. Mfume, Mr. Olszewski, Ms. Schakowsky, and Mr. Quigley) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To promote the creation of data center load queues and data center- specific rate classes to mitigate the impact of data centers on other electricity consumers, and for other purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Power for the People Act of 2026''. SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS. It is the sense of Congress that-- (1) because of current energy policies and electricity market structures, households and businesses are subsidizing data center development, paying the way for data centers through rising energy bills; (2) recent analysis indicates that data centers are set to more than double their electricity consumption, accounting for 6.7 percent to 12 percent of all energy demand by 2028, which is causing electricity prices to increase for ratepayers; (3) ratepayers should not be forced to take on the financial risks and costs of new infrastructure investments needed to support projected data center energy demands; (4) data center owners and operators should be held accountable for the increased energy costs that data centers are causing; (5)(A) the uniquely large size, rapidly increasing pace, and uncertain nature of projected energy demand from data centers are impacting both grid reliability and the affordability of electricity; (B) energy demand from data centers is also significantly impacting interstate commerce by putting a strain on the electric grid and causing reliability issues and energy costs to rise across State lines; and (C) therefore, increased Federal oversight is necessary to ensure that the interconnection of data centers to the electric grid does not create reliability or affordability risks; (6) data centers directly affect the transmission system and can increase transmission costs, regardless of whether they are connected directly to transmission facilities; (7) any policy solutions seeking to hold data center owners and operators accountable as described in paragraph (4) should also seek to minimize the climate and environmental impacts of data center development while creating good-paying jobs; (8) the Commission has authority, pursuant to the mandates to ensure just and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory rates (as established under sections 205 and 206 of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 824d, 824e) (including the standards developed under those sections)) and grid reliability (as established under section 215 of that Act (16 U.S.C. 824o) (including the standards developed under that section)), to require grid operators to create ``load queues'' for data centers that incentivize certain practices, including payment for required system upgrades and voluntary load flexibility; (9) grid operators, as part of their mandate to provide reliable transmission service, have the authority to create load queues specific to data centers that delay or deny interconnection in order to ensure reliability, and it is not ``unduly discriminatory'' to do so under the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.) because data centers, as a single customer class, constitute enough new load to overwhelm the electric grid if their interconnection to the electric grid is left unchecked; and (10)(A) some States are implementing processes to create rate classes specific to data centers, which are necessary to protect ratepayers from unfair costs and unnecessary risk, given the uncertain nature of data center energy demand projections and the high costs associated with the energy demands of data centers; and (B) rate classes specific to data centers should be adopted more broadly across all States to help ensure that, across the United States, energy system cost increases caused by data centers are paid for by data center owners and operators.

(4) Ensuring that the operator of any new energy supply resource that the data center brings to the electric grid pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2) agrees that the operator will use a labor peace agreement for the operation and maintenance of the energy supply resource. (c) Qualifying Load Flexibility Agreements.-- (1) In general.--The Commission shall establish minimum standards and guidelines for qualifying load flexibility agreements. (2) Requirements.--The standards and guidelines established under paragraph (1) shall-- (A) reduce costs for ratepayers by minimizing the need for the build out of new generation and transmission; and (B) ensure that qualifying load flexibility agreements can be effectively implemented by the covered interconnection entity. (d) Priority.--For purposes of priority in a data center load queue under subsection (a)(1), with respect to forms of generation described in paragraphs (1)(F) and (2) of subsection (b), priority shall be determined using a sliding scale pursuant to which additional priority is given for forms of generation having lower carbon intensity, such that the lower the carbon intensity of the applicable form of generation, the higher the priority given to the applicable data center in the data center load queue. (e) Effect of Certain Agreements.-- (1) Contractor or subcontractor.--Any individual contractor or subcontractor of the data center owner or operator that is a signatory to a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement described in subsections (e) and (f) of section 8 of the National Labor Relations Act (29 U.S.C. 158) that covers construction work on the data center and any new energy supply resource that the data center brings to the electric grid shall be deemed to be in compliance with subsection (b)(3). (2) Project labor agreement.--If a project labor agreement is used to construct a data center and any new energy supply resource that the data center brings to the electric grid, the data center (including the data center owner and operator) shall be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements of subsection (b)(3). (f) Labor Standards.--With respect to the labor standards specified in subsection (b)(3)(A), the Secretary of Labor shall have the authority and functions set forth in Reorganization Plan Numbered 14 of 1950 (64 Stat. 1267; 5 U.S.C. App.) and section 3145 of title 40, United States Code. (g) Deadline for Compliance.--The Commission shall ensure compliance with the rule issued under subsection (a) by the date that is 1 year after the date on which the rule is issued. (h) Prohibition.--On and after the effective date of the final rule issued under subsection (a), a data center that is not already interconnected with the electric grid may not interconnect with the electric grid unless the data center has fully advanced through the applicable data center load queue system created under that subsection. SEC. 5. LOCAL TRANSMISSION COST ALLOCATION. Not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Commission shall direct each public utility (as defined in section 201(e) of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 824(e))) to file 1 or more tariff amendments pursuant to section 205 of that Act (16 U.S.C. 824d) that-- (1) allocate to each interconnecting data center local transmission upgrade costs that, but for the existence of the data center, would not be needed; and (2) require data centers to pay transmission rates applicable to their rate class that reflect the embedded cost of the integrated grid, not including those local transmission upgrade costs that are required to be allocated to specific data centers under paragraph (1). SEC. 6. DATA CENTER-SPECIFIC RATE CLASSES. (a) In General.--Section 111(d) of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2621(d)) is amended by adding at the end the following: ``(22) Data centers.-- ``(A) Definitions.--In this paragraph, the terms `data center', `data center owner or operator', and `load interconnection request' have the meanings given those terms in section 3 of the Power for the People Act of 2026. ``(B) Standard.--Each State in which at least 1 data center is located or has been proposed via load interconnection request, legal filing, or public announcement shall consider-- ``(i) establishing a rate class specific to data centers to ensure that data center owners and operators are covering the full cost of the generation, transmission, and distribution upgrades necessary to serve data centers; and ``(ii) including as requirements for the data center rate class, in addition to any other potential requirements the State chooses to examine-- ``(I) minimum demand charges for data center owners and operators based on requested peak electricity demand if the monthly usage of a data center is less than its requested demand to ensure that ratepayers are not paying increased costs for generation and transmission built to serve data centers; ``(II) an extension of minimum utility contract lengths for data center customers to ensure that data center load does not leave utilities and ratepayers with stranded costs; ``(III) an increase in up-front interconnection study costs, deposit amounts, or collateral requirements for data center projects to ensure that the interconnection queue is not slowed down by projects that are unlikely to come to fruition; ``(IV) permissible `load ramp' periods for data centers that allow data center customers to start service with a lower-than-requested capacity and gradually increase their power demand over a period of multiple years to reach their full requested capacity, subject to the condition that flexible load interconnection pursuant to this subclause does not undermine grid reliability; ``(V) a `clean transition tariff' that allows data center customers to financially support novel zero- emissions energy technologies to meet their electricity demand in cooperation with intermediaries, such as a utility company; and ``(VI) the use of contribution in aid of construction (commonly referred to as `CIAC') as a tool to have the data center customer pay upfront for the utility investment determined to be the responsibility of that data center.''.

R. 8241 To promote the creation of data center load queues and data center- specific rate classes to mitigate the impact of data centers on other electricity consumers, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES April 9, 2026 Mr. Tonko (for himself, Ms. Castor of Florida, Mr. Cohen, Ms. Elfreth, Ms. Dexter, Mrs. Foushee, Mr. Garamendi, Mr. Goldman of New York, Mr. Lynch, Ms. Norton, Mr. Ivey, Mrs. McClain Delaney, Ms. McClellan, Mr. Mfume, Mr. Olszewski, Ms. Schakowsky, and Mr. Quigley) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To promote the creation of data center load queues and data center- specific rate classes to mitigate the impact of data centers on other electricity consumers, and for other purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Power for the People Act of 2026''. SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS. It is the sense of Congress that-- (1) because of current energy policies and electricity market structures, households and businesses are subsidizing data center development, paying the way for data centers through rising energy bills; (2) recent analysis indicates that data centers are set to more than double their electricity consumption, accounting for 6.7 percent to 12 percent of all energy demand by 2028, which is causing electricity prices to increase for ratepayers; (3) ratepayers should not be forced to take on the financial risks and costs of new infrastructure investments needed to support projected data center energy demands; (4) data center owners and operators should be held accountable for the increased energy costs that data centers are causing; (5)(A) the uniquely large size, rapidly increasing pace, and uncertain nature of projected energy demand from data centers are impacting both grid reliability and the affordability of electricity; (B) energy demand from data centers is also significantly impacting interstate commerce by putting a strain on the electric grid and causing reliability issues and energy costs to rise across State lines; and (C) therefore, increased Federal oversight is necessary to ensure that the interconnection of data centers to the electric grid does not create reliability or affordability risks; (6) data centers directly affect the transmission system and can increase transmission costs, regardless of whether they are connected directly to transmission facilities; (7) any policy solutions seeking to hold data center owners and operators accountable as described in paragraph (4) should also seek to minimize the climate and environmental impacts of data center development while creating good-paying jobs; (8) the Commission has authority, pursuant to the mandates to ensure just and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory rates (as established under sections 205 and 206 of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 824d, 824e) (including the standards developed under those sections)) and grid reliability (as established under section 215 of that Act (16 U.S.C. 824o) (including the standards developed under that section)), to require grid operators to create ``load queues'' for data centers that incentivize certain practices, including payment for required system upgrades and voluntary load flexibility; (9) grid operators, as part of their mandate to provide reliable transmission service, have the authority to create load queues specific to data centers that delay or deny interconnection in order to ensure reliability, and it is not ``unduly discriminatory'' to do so under the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.) because data centers, as a single customer class, constitute enough new load to overwhelm the electric grid if their interconnection to the electric grid is left unchecked; and (10)(A) some States are implementing processes to create rate classes specific to data centers, which are necessary to protect ratepayers from unfair costs and unnecessary risk, given the uncertain nature of data center energy demand projections and the high costs associated with the energy demands of data centers; and (B) rate classes specific to data centers should be adopted more broadly across all States to help ensure that, across the United States, energy system cost increases caused by data centers are paid for by data center owners and operators.

R. 8241 To promote the creation of data center load queues and data center- specific rate classes to mitigate the impact of data centers on other electricity consumers, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES April 9, 2026 Mr. Tonko (for himself, Ms. Castor of Florida, Mr. Cohen, Ms. Elfreth, Ms. Dexter, Mrs. Foushee, Mr. Garamendi, Mr. Goldman of New York, Mr. Lynch, Ms. Norton, Mr. Ivey, Mrs. McClain Delaney, Ms. McClellan, Mr. Mfume, Mr. Olszewski, Ms. Schakowsky, and Mr. Quigley) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To promote the creation of data center load queues and data center- specific rate classes to mitigate the impact of data centers on other electricity consumers, and for other purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Power for the People Act of 2026''. SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS. It is the sense of Congress that-- (1) because of current energy policies and electricity market structures, households and businesses are subsidizing data center development, paying the way for data centers through rising energy bills; (2) recent analysis indicates that data centers are set to more than double their electricity consumption, accounting for 6.7 percent to 12 percent of all energy demand by 2028, which is causing electricity prices to increase for ratepayers; (3) ratepayers should not be forced to take on the financial risks and costs of new infrastructure investments needed to support projected data center energy demands; (4) data center owners and operators should be held accountable for the increased energy costs that data centers are causing; (5)(A) the uniquely large size, rapidly increasing pace, and uncertain nature of projected energy demand from data centers are impacting both grid reliability and the affordability of electricity; (B) energy demand from data centers is also significantly impacting interstate commerce by putting a strain on the electric grid and causing reliability issues and energy costs to rise across State lines; and (C) therefore, increased Federal oversight is necessary to ensure that the interconnection of data centers to the electric grid does not create reliability or affordability risks; (6) data centers directly affect the transmission system and can increase transmission costs, regardless of whether they are connected directly to transmission facilities; (7) any policy solutions seeking to hold data center owners and operators accountable as described in paragraph (4) should also seek to minimize the climate and environmental impacts of data center development while creating good-paying jobs; (8) the Commission has authority, pursuant to the mandates to ensure just and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory rates (as established under sections 205 and 206 of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 824d, 824e) (including the standards developed under those sections)) and grid reliability (as established under section 215 of that Act (16 U.S.C. 824o) (including the standards developed under that section)), to require grid operators to create ``load queues'' for data centers that incentivize certain practices, including payment for required system upgrades and voluntary load flexibility; (9) grid operators, as part of their mandate to provide reliable transmission service, have the authority to create load queues specific to data centers that delay or deny interconnection in order to ensure reliability, and it is not ``unduly discriminatory'' to do so under the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.) because data centers, as a single customer class, constitute enough new load to overwhelm the electric grid if their interconnection to the electric grid is left unchecked; and (10)(A) some States are implementing processes to create rate classes specific to data centers, which are necessary to protect ratepayers from unfair costs and unnecessary risk, given the uncertain nature of data center energy demand projections and the high costs associated with the energy demands of data centers; and (B) rate classes specific to data centers should be adopted more broadly across all States to help ensure that, across the United States, energy system cost increases caused by data centers are paid for by data center owners and operators.

(4) Ensuring that the operator of any new energy supply resource that the data center brings to the electric grid pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2) agrees that the operator will use a labor peace agreement for the operation and maintenance of the energy supply resource. (c) Qualifying Load Flexibility Agreements.-- (1) In general.--The Commission shall establish minimum standards and guidelines for qualifying load flexibility agreements. (2) Requirements.--The standards and guidelines established under paragraph (1) shall-- (A) reduce costs for ratepayers by minimizing the need for the build out of new generation and transmission; and (B) ensure that qualifying load flexibility agreements can be effectively implemented by the covered interconnection entity. (d) Priority.--For purposes of priority in a data center load queue under subsection (a)(1), with respect to forms of generation described in paragraphs (1)(F) and (2) of subsection (b), priority shall be determined using a sliding scale pursuant to which additional priority is given for forms of generation having lower carbon intensity, such that the lower the carbon intensity of the applicable form of generation, the higher the priority given to the applicable data center in the data center load queue. (e) Effect of Certain Agreements.-- (1) Contractor or subcontractor.--Any individual contractor or subcontractor of the data center owner or operator that is a signatory to a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement described in subsections (e) and (f) of section 8 of the National Labor Relations Act (29 U.S.C. 158) that covers construction work on the data center and any new energy supply resource that the data center brings to the electric grid shall be deemed to be in compliance with subsection (b)(3). (2) Project labor agreement.--If a project labor agreement is used to construct a data center and any new energy supply resource that the data center brings to the electric grid, the data center (including the data center owner and operator) shall be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements of subsection (b)(3). (f) Labor Standards.--With respect to the labor standards specified in subsection (b)(3)(A), the Secretary of Labor shall have the authority and functions set forth in Reorganization Plan Numbered 14 of 1950 (64 Stat. 1267; 5 U.S.C. App.) and section 3145 of title 40, United States Code. (g) Deadline for Compliance.--The Commission shall ensure compliance with the rule issued under subsection (a) by the date that is 1 year after the date on which the rule is issued. (h) Prohibition.--On and after the effective date of the final rule issued under subsection (a), a data center that is not already interconnected with the electric grid may not interconnect with the electric grid unless the data center has fully advanced through the applicable data center load queue system created under that subsection. SEC. 5. LOCAL TRANSMISSION COST ALLOCATION. Not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Commission shall direct each public utility (as defined in section 201(e) of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 824(e))) to file 1 or more tariff amendments pursuant to section 205 of that Act (16 U.S.C. 824d) that-- (1) allocate to each interconnecting data center local transmission upgrade costs that, but for the existence of the data center, would not be needed; and (2) require data centers to pay transmission rates applicable to their rate class that reflect the embedded cost of the integrated grid, not including those local transmission upgrade costs that are required to be allocated to specific data centers under paragraph (1). SEC. 6. DATA CENTER-SPECIFIC RATE CLASSES. (a) In General.--Section 111(d) of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2621(d)) is amended by adding at the end the following: ``(22) Data centers.-- ``(A) Definitions.--In this paragraph, the terms `data center', `data center owner or operator', and `load interconnection request' have the meanings given those terms in section 3 of the Power for the People Act of 2026. ``(B) Standard.--Each State in which at least 1 data center is located or has been proposed via load interconnection request, legal filing, or public announcement shall consider-- ``(i) establishing a rate class specific to data centers to ensure that data center owners and operators are covering the full cost of the generation, transmission, and distribution upgrades necessary to serve data centers; and ``(ii) including as requirements for the data center rate class, in addition to any other potential requirements the State chooses to examine-- ``(I) minimum demand charges for data center owners and operators based on requested peak electricity demand if the monthly usage of a data center is less than its requested demand to ensure that ratepayers are not paying increased costs for generation and transmission built to serve data centers; ``(II) an extension of minimum utility contract lengths for data center customers to ensure that data center load does not leave utilities and ratepayers with stranded costs; ``(III) an increase in up-front interconnection study costs, deposit amounts, or collateral requirements for data center projects to ensure that the interconnection queue is not slowed down by projects that are unlikely to come to fruition; ``(IV) permissible `load ramp' periods for data centers that allow data center customers to start service with a lower-than-requested capacity and gradually increase their power demand over a period of multiple years to reach their full requested capacity, subject to the condition that flexible load interconnection pursuant to this subclause does not undermine grid reliability; ``(V) a `clean transition tariff' that allows data center customers to financially support novel zero- emissions energy technologies to meet their electricity demand in cooperation with intermediaries, such as a utility company; and ``(VI) the use of contribution in aid of construction (commonly referred to as `CIAC') as a tool to have the data center customer pay upfront for the utility investment determined to be the responsibility of that data center.''.

R. 8241 To promote the creation of data center load queues and data center- specific rate classes to mitigate the impact of data centers on other electricity consumers, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES April 9, 2026 Mr. Tonko (for himself, Ms. Castor of Florida, Mr. Cohen, Ms. Elfreth, Ms. Dexter, Mrs. Foushee, Mr. Garamendi, Mr. Goldman of New York, Mr. Lynch, Ms. Norton, Mr. Ivey, Mrs. McClain Delaney, Ms. McClellan, Mr. Mfume, Mr. Olszewski, Ms. Schakowsky, and Mr. Quigley) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To promote the creation of data center load queues and data center- specific rate classes to mitigate the impact of data centers on other electricity consumers, and for other purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Power for the People Act of 2026''. SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS. It is the sense of Congress that-- (1) because of current energy policies and electricity market structures, households and businesses are subsidizing data center development, paying the way for data centers through rising energy bills; (2) recent analysis indicates that data centers are set to more than double their electricity consumption, accounting for 6.7 percent to 12 percent of all energy demand by 2028, which is causing electricity prices to increase for ratepayers; (3) ratepayers should not be forced to take on the financial risks and costs of new infrastructure investments needed to support projected data center energy demands; (4) data center owners and operators should be held accountable for the increased energy costs that data centers are causing; (5)(A) the uniquely large size, rapidly increasing pace, and uncertain nature of projected energy demand from data centers are impacting both grid reliability and the affordability of electricity; (B) energy demand from data centers is also significantly impacting interstate commerce by putting a strain on the electric grid and causing reliability issues and energy costs to rise across State lines; and (C) therefore, increased Federal oversight is necessary to ensure that the interconnection of data centers to the electric grid does not create reliability or affordability risks; (6) data centers directly affect the transmission system and can increase transmission costs, regardless of whether they are connected directly to transmission facilities; (7) any policy solutions seeking to hold data center owners and operators accountable as described in paragraph (4) should also seek to minimize the climate and environmental impacts of data center development while creating good-paying jobs; (8) the Commission has authority, pursuant to the mandates to ensure just and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory rates (as established under sections 205 and 206 of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 824d, 824e) (including the standards developed under those sections)) and grid reliability (as established under section 215 of that Act (16 U.S.C. 824o) (including the standards developed under that section)), to require grid operators to create ``load queues'' for data centers that incentivize certain practices, including payment for required system upgrades and voluntary load flexibility; (9) grid operators, as part of their mandate to provide reliable transmission service, have the authority to create load queues specific to data centers that delay or deny interconnection in order to ensure reliability, and it is not ``unduly discriminatory'' to do so under the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.) because data centers, as a single customer class, constitute enough new load to overwhelm the electric grid if their interconnection to the electric grid is left unchecked; and (10)(A) some States are implementing processes to create rate classes specific to data centers, which are necessary to protect ratepayers from unfair costs and unnecessary risk, given the uncertain nature of data center energy demand projections and the high costs associated with the energy demands of data centers; and (B) rate classes specific to data centers should be adopted more broadly across all States to help ensure that, across the United States, energy system cost increases caused by data centers are paid for by data center owners and operators.
