Heinrich proposes legislation to make data centers pay for grid infrastructure$

U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich introduced the GRID Savings Act to make hyperscale data centers pay for grid upgrades, aiming to prevent utility customers from bearing these costs. The proposed legislation comes amid ongoing regulatory hurdles and opposition for Project Jupiter, a massive AI data center in Doña Ana County, which faces issues with air quality permits, a natural gas pipeline, and a lawsuit over transparency.
