@Natasha_Jay Watch FERC issue a rule preempting the Oregon law. They're already forcing regional transmission organizations to revamp the rules for grid connections to make it easier for big data centers to attach (and aluminum smelters, I guess, but that's not a growing sector).

@Natasha_Jay FALSE Oregon's Public Utility Commission allowed ONE shareholder-owned utility, PGE, to alter its rates. Other utilities, public & private, in the state (e.g. Berkshire Hathaway's Pacific Power) have NOT altered their rates yet to comply with Oregon's POWER Act which requires data centers & large commercial users to pay their share.
