Energy - As introduced, enacts the "Data Center, Artificial Intelligence, and Clean Transition Tariff Accountability Act." - Amends TCA Title 7 and Title 65.
HB 2054 establishes a "Clean Transition Tariff" (CTT) requiring large energy users - such as data centers, AI facilities, and crypto operations consuming 25 megawatts or more - to pay a voluntary premium for new clean energy infrastructure. This ensures these facilities fund their own grid upgrades and new clean power generation, preventing costs from being shifted to residential and small business customers. The bill mandates that large users cover all proportional costs for transmission, distribution, and reliability upgrades needed to serve their new electricity demand. It also requires utilities to enforce this tariff structure and report annually on cost allocations, protecting smaller ratepayers while supporting grid reliability. The CTT must provide 100% clean power for the facility’s new demand without impacting other customers’ rates.
