(The Center Square) – The U.S. House nearly unanimously passed a bill Wednesday night aimed at shielding ordinary Americans from electricity price hikes caused by data centers.

Lawmakers have touted the Ratepayer Protection Act as a bill requiring owners of data centers drawing more than 100 MW of power plugging into the electric grid to pay for the associated grid upgrade costs.
