Ohio should require new data centers to produce their own electricity instead of drawing it from the grid.
New data centers in Ohio mostly buy power from utilities over the shared grid, and regulators have set special rates for some large data center customers. This would require new data centers to build or contract their own power generation.

Data centers must invest in their own energy generation options and prove the project will not increase our electricity prices or negatively impact regional reliability.
