Nathan Hammer's Substack article examines how data centers added an estimated $29.4 billion to power bills across PJM's 13 states — the market monitor's counterfactual figure from four capacity auctions that rose from $28.92 to over $330 per megawatt-day — and how households pay for forecast load years before data centers are built. It surveys four states' protective tariffs (Ohio, Oregon, Georgia, Oklahoma), notes disputed attributions from PJM, the Edison Electric Institute, and dueling studies, and argues that where regulators made data centers pay their own way, households were protected.
