Power for the People Act of 2026 aims to mitigate data centers' impact on electricity consumers.
The Power for the People Act of 2026 seeks to address the growing energy demands of data centers and their impact on electricity consumers.

The Act also requires the creation of data center load queues to manage the interconnection of data centers, ensuring reliability and affordability.
