3. Is primarily engaged in one or more of the following
activities:
a. operation of data centers, cloud computing facilities,
server farms, or digital asset processing facilities,
b. artificial intelligence, high-performance computing,
or large-scale information processing, or
c. advanced manufacturing, industrial processing, or
other operations requiring continuous or near-
continuous high electric demand.
The term shall include facilities under common ownership or
control that are reasonably expected to operate in a coordinated
manner or that collectively impose comparable impacts on electric
infrastructure or rates. The term shall not include traditional
residential, small commercial, or standard industrial customers
unless such customers meet the demand thresholds established in this
section.
B. The Commission is hereby directed to conduct a comprehensive
study examining the current and projected impacts of large load
customers on:
1. Electric generation capacity, transmission, and distribution
infrastructure;
2. System reliability, resilience, and resource adequacy;
3. Utility planning, including integrated resource planning and
transmission planning;

4. Electricity rates, cost allocation, and potential cross-
subsidization affecting existing ratepayers;
5. The need for new infrastructure investments attributable to
large load customers and the appropriate assignment of such costs;
and
6. Any other factors the Commission deems necessary to protect
public interest.
C. As part of the study required in subsection B of this
section, the Commission shall specifically assess:
1. Whether the costs associated with serving large load
customers are being equitably and proportionately allocated based on
cost causation principles;
2. Whether existing or proposed rate structures, tariffs,
special contracts, or incentive arrangements result in direct or
indirect cost shifting to residential, commercial, agricultural, or
other customers not meeting the definition of large load customer;
3. The extent to which infrastructure investments undertaken to
serve large load customers would have been unnecessary in the
absence of such customers;
4. Whether current regulatory practices adequately ensure that
large load customers bear the full incremental costs of service
attributable to their demand; and
5. Potential policy considerations to protect ratepayers.
