Indiana is experiencing a boom in data center construction, driven by demand from tech giants. There is growing concern that this surge could lead to significant energy cost increases for residents. A proposed bill would require major tech companies to pay 80% of the costs associated with new power plants and infrastructure needed for these centers. With the state's existing utilities potentially passing costs onto customers, the situation raises complex questions about accountability and financial implications for Indiana's citizens and energy policy.
If companies want to build a data center here, and we have to build new power generation for them, then they should help pay for it.
Consumer advocacy groups have raised concerns about the financial burden this may place on local residents, highlighting the necessity for a fair distribution of costs.
