3/3/2026 Testimony: S.902 Data Center Siting Act, S.724 Commercial Data Center Water Usage Report
We strongly support the requirement in S.902 that data center operators, not non-participating customers, bear the cost of providing electrical service to data centers. "Self-generation" should not depend on grid support that would require public utilities to maintain capacity to serve them if their own power sources falter. Our greatest disagreement with the terms of S.902 relates to regulatory authority as it applies to siting and environmental evaluations.
