Senate could vote this week on bipartisan energy permitting and data center cost bill
The Senate could vote as soon as this week on the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act, which would shorten environmental reviews and legal challenge windows for energy infrastructure. The bill would require data centers to cover their electricity and grid upgrade costs rather than pass them to other customers. Large data center developers would also have to provide upfront money in case facilities close before new power projects are paid off.
