Bill overview
This bill aims to regulate the impact of data centers on South Dakota’s electricity grid. It requires electric utilities to ensure data centers pay the full cost of their electricity usage, prevent costs from being passed on to other customers, and cover the costs of decommissioning. The bill also introduces a moratorium on the construction or expansion of new large data centers, and mandates reporting requirements for existing large data centers to track their energy usage and plans.
