Tennessee Data Centers Pay Their Own Power Bills

Tennessee just cracked down on data centers with a new law requiring those pulling over 50 megawatts to pay for their own power—no more shifting costs to regular folks or businesses. With 60 data centers already online, the May 7th rule ensures utilities can’t absorb or pass on expenses, forcing new contracts to keep costs contained. It’s a win for everyday consumers, protecting rates while still letting tech grow—especially for new deals after July 1st. The state’s utility watchdogs are now on the case to make sure the rules stick. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
