US House to take up bill aimed at curbing data center-driven electricity costs
Republican lawmakers in the US House are preparing to bring a bill to the floor next week that aims to curb rising electricity costs associated with data center expansion, according to a spokesperson for Speaker Mike Johnson. The bipartisan Ratepayer Protection Act is expected to be voted on before the midterm elections, as reported by Axios.
The legislation seeks to address the growing concern among government officials nationwide that the escalating cost of power for data centers could ultimately be passed on to everyday consumers.
