The House is expected to vote Wednesday on legislation aimed at making technology companies cover utility costs tied to data center construction and expanded electricity demand. Ohio Sen. Jon Husted, who is seeking election in November to complete the final two years of the term he was appointed to, is urging the Senate to act quickly as he faces political attacks over his past support for data centers. If the House approves the measure, sending it to President Donald Trump before senators leave Washington for the campaign period would require Husted to secure agreement from all 99 of his Senate colleagues to expedite consideration or allow the bill to pass without a vote. That effort faces resistance, including from Democrats who are skeptical of the House legislation and reluctant to help Husted in his contest against former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown. The bill, sponsored by Reps. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.) and Gabe Evans (R-Colo.), would create a framework for charging large electricity users rates covering additional generation and grid infrastructure costs. States would not have to adopt the framework but would have to hold a hearing on it within two years of enactment. The measure comes as opposition to data center development becomes an issue in the 2026 midterm elections; critics say its voluntary approach may not go far enough to prevent higher costs for other electricity users.
