Arizona Corporation Commission hearing to focus on data centers

The Arizona Corporation Commission is holding a special workshop to discuss the impact of data centers and other large-load facilities on electric bills and grid reliability in the state. This follows a governor's task force report that raised similar concerns, emphasizing the need for policies to manage economic growth without compromising grid stability or increasing costs for existing customers. The commission will review rate classifications and cost allocation, while a specific Menlo Equities data center project in Phoenix continues to face local opposition.
