Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The Power for the People Act of 2026 requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to establish rules for data center load queues and data center-specific electricity rate classes to ensure data center operators pay for grid infrastructure upgrades and reliability impacts. The bill mandates that covered grid operators prioritize data center load interruptions during grid stress, require data centers to fund battery storage or provide load flexibility, and establish labor standards including project labor agreements and apprenticeship programs for data center construction. The legislation aims to prevent non-data-center ratepayers from subsidizing the costs of grid upgrades needed to accommodate rapidly growing data center electricity demand.
