Why is this a big deal? The Wisconsin Public Service Commission (PSC) will decide how much data centers in We Energies & WPS territory will pay for their electricity and infrastructure. We must ensure that Wisconsinites do not subsidize Big Tech billionaires through higher energy bills. Both We Energies and Big Tech are trying to take advantage of the AI boom to line their pockets off of data centers at the expense of us.
The big data centers coming to Wisconsin could more than double We Energies’ demand, so the PSC must take action to protect us from footing the bill.
We need No Discounts for Data Centers:
- Makes data centers pay for all of their costs.
- Is mandatory for all large (20 megawatts or more) data center customers.
- Protects us for the full lifetime of the infrastructure.
- Prioritizes new clean energy to avoid risky gas prices and eases access to clean energy resources, including behind-the-meter generation and storage and wind resources from other areas.
- Includes a community benefits agreement or an energy impact fund.
- Has strong tracking and assessment mechanisms in place.
