New Jersey Senate Advances Bill for New Tariffs on Large Data Centers
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
The New Jersey Senate passed a bill to create new tariff classes for data centers exceeding 100MW monthly to protect ratepayers from rising costs. The bill requires utilities to submit tariffs to the Board of Public Utilities and incentivizes energy efficiency.
Passed by the Assembly in June, it is now with the Governor for approval before he leaves office on January 20. Other states like Wisconsin, Ohio, Oregon, and Virginia are also proposing similar regulations for data centers.
