Make Data Centers Pay Their Fair Share

Data centers represent rising electricity costs for entire communities in Pennsylvania. This is unacceptable during a time of already rising costs for gas, groceries, housing, and utilities.

That's why I voted YES on the Data Center Act - House Bill 1834 - which passed the PA House yesterday. House Bill 1834 would:

• Protect ratepayers by explicitly prohibiting large data centers from shifting costs to households and small businesses.

  
  

• Require data centers to pay their fair share for costs and invests in energy affordability and low-income assistance to Pennsylvanians.

• Protect the environment by requiring data centers to use cleaner energy, improve energy reliability, and reduce emissions.

• Invest in new clean energy development.
