PUC advances model tariff for high energy demand customers, including data centers

The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) has advanced a proposed model tariff to regulate large electricity users, including data centers, across the state. This framework aims to manage surging demand, ensure large-load customers bear infrastructure upgrade costs, and protect existing residential and small-business customers from financial burdens. The PUC plans to release a revised final order soon, following a unanimous vote.
