Idaho should require large data centers to pay the full cost of the power grid upgrades they need.

Large data centers are being built or planned in Idaho, and utilities must add power plants and lines to serve them. Requiring the centers to cover those costs would keep them off other customers' bills but could discourage some projects.

New, energy-intensive developments should bear the costs associated with the additional generation and transmission infrastructure they require, shielding Idaho families and businesses from higher electricity bills.
