EDF, PennFuture, Partners Host April 10 Webinar On PUC A.I. Data Centers Large Load Model Tariff

The Environmental Defense Fund, PennFuture, and other partners will host an April 10 webinar on the Public Utility Commission's proposed A.I. Data Centers Large Load Model Tariff from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m.

The tariff would establish a voluntary specialized electricity pricing structure designed for customers with exceptionally high energy demand, such as major industrial facilities and data centers.

The webinar will examine the tariff and discuss what advocates, policymakers, and elected officials can learn from individual utility rate cases currently being filed across the state.

The webinar is also being hosted by the Clean Air Council, Vote Solar, the Union of Concerned Scientists, POWER Interfaith, and Physicians for Social Responsibility Pennsylvania.
