PUC SEEKS PUBLIC COMMENT ON PLAN TO ADDRESS GROWTH OF DATA CENTERS

The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission is seeking public comment on its plan to address the growth of data centers in the Commonwealth.  The plan adopted earlier this month proposes a model tariff for data centers and other large-load customers and encourages them to contribute toward programs that support low-income customers.  It also asks these high-demand users to protect existing customers in various ways.  Comments can be sent either electronically or by mail to the PUC’s office in Harrisburg.
