Tennessee SB2128 prohibits electric utilities from charging customers for infrastructure costs related to data centers.
Tennessee SB2128 amends state law to ensure that electric utilities cannot charge residential or commercial customers for infrastructure costs related to data centers. The bill mandates that the owner or operator of a data center must cover the full cost of necessary infrastructure, including cooling equipment and other necessary systems. Utilities are prohibited from distributing these costs to other customers or requiring them to pay for infrastructure costs caused by data centers. The law also allows utilities to create a new customer class for data centers if needed.
