Bill to Protect Ratepayers from Data Center Energy Costs Signed
Assemblyman Dave Bailey, Jr.’s legislation designed to ensure that public utility customers are not burdened with subsidizing the energy costs of large data centers was signed into law on Tuesday. Governor Sherrill signed the bill at Assemblyman Bailey’s childhood home in Salem County, where his mother, Eileen, still resides. Assembly members Joe Danielsen, Clinton Calabrese and Eliana Pintor Marin also sponsored Bill A796.
“Data center growth will drive up the cost of electricity if we don’t create guardrails,” said Assemblyman Bailey (D-Gloucester, Salem, Cumberland). “We want to make sure data centers pay for the energy they use and the infrastructure they need, not our constituents. This bill is about protecting ratepayers and preventing households and small businesses from paying for data centers to connect to the grid.”

Legislation to eliminate $250 million in uncommitted tax credits previously authorized for certain artificial intelligence and data center projects passed the New Jersey General Assembly last week. Assemblyman Andrew Macurdy, Assemblyman Balvir Singh, and Assemblywoman Annette Quijano sponsored Bill A5165.
