data centers

Data centers and other energy-demanding industries are moving to Indiana, increasing the need for more water and energy generation, the governor said.

Though it was amended to put more of the risk on tech companies, House Bill 1007 could still raise Hoosiers’ electric bills and prolong coal pollution in Indiana communities.

The nondiscriminatory agreement would apply to all “large load” customers once regulators approve.

The utility Indiana Michigan Power expects that by 2030, data centers planned for its territory will use more electricity every year than all the residents it serves today.
