Duke Energy agrees on large load tariff for data centers
Original: Duke Energy comes to an agreement on long-sought large load tariff for data centers in North Carolina
Duke Energy has reached an agreement on a long-sought large load tariff in North Carolina, setting the terms under which power-hungry data centers pay for electricity service. The framework has been pursued for years as utilities grapple with surging data center demand and concerns that ordinary customers could shoulder the costs of new infrastructure.
Why now: Data centers' growing electricity demand has made how utilities charge large customers a contentious regulatory issue.
