FERC approves Duke large-load tariff that shields ratepayers from data center costs

Large-load tariff approved by FERC

A data center that asks Duke Energy Carolinas for grid upgrades must now commit to paying for at least 75% of its planned transmission service for 15 years, even if actual usage falls short.
