US Senate fails to pass bill requiring data centers to pay for power grid improvements
The US Senate has failed to pass a bill that would have required data centers to pay for power grid improvements, with 57 senators voting against the measure and 43 in favor.
The bill, which was tabled on September 30, aimed to regulate the cost of power grid improvements and require data centers to pay for them.
The debate over who should bear the cost of power grid improvements has been ongoing between the federal government, state governments, and the industry.
