The bipartisan Ratepayer Protection Act targets the financial burden of new data centers by requiring tech developers to pay for infrastructure costs. The U.S. House of Representatives scheduled a vote on the bill for Tuesday to ensure that the companies building these facilities shoulder the expenditures.

The proposed law seeks to protect ratepayers from absorbing the expenses associated with the expansion of data centers. This measure requires firms developing new sites to cover tied infrastructure costs instead of allowing those burdens to fall on the public.
