Hochul Warns Data Centers Raise Electricity Costs
|
6.1
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul told The Post she wants AI-related and other data centers to pay more for electricity, saying "massive data centers" could outstrip the grid and raise residential bills. Ken Girardin of the Manhattan Institute argues in a column that data centers are not the main driver of rising New York residential rates—up over 30% since mid‑2021—and points to generation constraints, subsidies, and policy choices instead.
