SB 724: Protecting Pennsylvanians from Rising Energy Costs and Requiring Community Benefits Agreements for Communities Impacted by Data Centers
An Act providing for regulation of large load customers and public utilities and for community benefits agreements between large load customers and community-based organizations; establishing the Data Center LIHEAP Enhancement Fund; and imposing duties on the Department of Human Services and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.
Senator Lindsey Williams PUC Comments
I also submitted comments to the PUC in July on the possibility of promulgating regulations for interconnecting electric loads and the impacts of large load customers like data centers. I strongly support the PUC creating regulations that promote transparency, prevent cost shifting to residential customers, mitigate impacts of another potentially volatile energy industry, and require that large load customers enter into a Community Benefits Agreement (CBA).

In December, I submitted comments on the PA Public Utilities Commission’s proposal to create a model tariff for large load customers that promotes transparency, prevents cost shifting to residential customers, and mitigates the impact of another potentially volatile energy industry coming into the state. You can read my letter to the PUC below. The model tariff was established in April, incorporating some of my feedback. You can read more about the adopted model tariff here: PUC Releases Final Order Establishing First-of-Its-Kind Large Load Model Tariff Framework | PA PUC.”
