The Utility Rate Bill
Indiana blocks utility rate hikes for data centers
Electricity rate increases due to data centers.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, Indiana could stop electric utilities from raising rates to cover costs of serving data centers or small facilities with fewer than 50 workers.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens could keep their electricity bills from climbing because big data centers won’t push costs onto them, but utilities may lose money to fund upgrades.
