Bring Your Own Power: Solutions Emerge from Wisconsin Lawmakers

This article discusses Wisconsin lawmakers' proposed legislation that would allow companies, including AI data centers, to generate their own electricity. The 'Bring Your Own Power' (BYOP) approach aims to shield residents from rising utility rates and create new economic opportunities in northern Wisconsin. The legislation would remove the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) requirement for companies to generate their own power, address the 'stranded asset' issue for utilities, and create a public permitting dashboard.
