Occurrences

The Ratepayer Protection Act preserves state and local control over data center projects while ensuring that hardworking Americans are not asked to pay for hundreds of millions of dollars in new generation, transmission, or distribution infrastructure costs. That cost should always be on the companies.

Moore committed to backing the Ratepayer Protection Act's policy of making data centers, rather than ratepayers, cover added electricity infrastructure costs.

The promise was to support legislation requiring large data centers or large-load customers to pay the full incremental electricity infrastructure costs they cause, rather than shifting those costs to families, small businesses, and other ratepayers. Moore cosponsored the Ratepayer Protection Act during his current federal House term, and the bill text matches the promised policy mechanism. Because the commitment was to support legislation, not necessarily enact it, cosponsorship is enough to count as delivered in the same term.
