“The Ratepayer Protection Act advances the basic principle that Americans should not pay the cost for increased electricity used by data centers,” said Congresswoman Julia Letlow . “When developed responsibly, these investments can support our economy by creating new jobs and providing more tax revenue that benefits teachers, law enforcement, and local infrastructure. Louisiana has taken concrete steps to ensure data centers finance their own operations, and this bill will create similar standards to protect ratepayers across the nation.”

Letlow endorsed the Ratepayer Protection Act as a way to create standards protecting ratepayers from paying for electricity costs associated with data centers and other large-load customers.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 9340, the Ratepayer Protection Act, aimed at shielding consumers from any increased electricity costs associated with data centers or other large-load customers. Congresswoman Julia Letlow supported passage of the bill, which will now head to the Senate. The legislation directs state utility commissions to adopt standards requiring large customers to pay the total cost of new power, instead of passing new charges along to consumers.

The verified commitment promised that the bill would create nationwide ratepayer-protection standards. Verified evidence shows Letlow supported House passage of H.R. 9340 and that the bill was headed to the Senate, but it does not show enactment or that the standards were actually created. With no deadline and only a documented legislative attempt, the outcome remains unresolved rather than delivered or partial.
