U.S. House Passes Bill to Shield Households From Data Center-Driven Power Bill Increases

According to Wallstreetcn, the U.S. House on Wednesday passed a bill aimed at protecting households from electricity bill increases caused by data center expansion, in the chamber's first move on legislation directly targeting economic issues tied to the industry's growth. The User Rights Protection Act would require state utility regulators to consider whether large power users, including data centers, should bear the incremental costs of electric infrastructure built to serve them.
