AI data centers have promised to pay its electricity bills, but experts claim US households may still have to pay $23 billion more

This allocation means residential customers could subsidize grid upgrades for these facilities.

Data centers might also reduce their peak demand charges through automated systems.

Consumer advocates urge public involvement in utility rate-setting proceedings.
