In a way, usually utilities are state controlled and there are different levels of funding for expansion projects, as well as variations to levels of efficiency, corruption or manipulation.
I'm perfectly fine if to satisfy that requirement the Data Center operator pays the Utility Company for the cost of expanding existing infrastructure, but I want those expenses more direct to the specific consumer (data center) likely to consume more energy in a day than most of the residents of the city do via taxes or direct fees against increased demands.
- burnt-resistor 1y ago> usually utilities are state controlled This is not even close to how anything works. There's some state regulation but most GSOs/TSOs/DSOs/IPPs are private companies, SGEs, or nonprofit co-ops. All RTOs/ISOs are nonprofits but own no grid assets.
