An analysis of over 2,100 public comments submitted to the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) revealed that more than half opposed the electric rates proposed by We Energies for data centers. The comments were analyzed using tools similar to those that would be run in the data centers currently under construction in Wisconsin. The PSC is set to make a decision on these proposed rates, which has garnered significant public attention due to the implications for data center development in the state.
