Kathy Castor introduces bipartisan bill to prevent data center costs from being passed to ratepayers

Summary

U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor (D-FL) has introduced the Ratepayer Protection Act, a bipartisan bill with Rep. Gabe Evans (R-CO), that would require large data centers and tech companies to pay for their own infrastructure upgrades rather than passing costs onto residential ratepayers. Castor argues that Floridians are already facing rising electric bills and should not subsidize wealthy corporations' energy demands, particularly from AI data centers.
