KY HB544

Retail electric suppliers cannot serve data center customers with total aggregated contract capacity exceeding 100 megawatts unless the Public Service Commission approves a tariff or contract with minimum service requirements, including contract durations, early termination fees, load ramp period terms, and financial assurances

Data centers are defined to include cryptocurrency mining operations and facilities with fixed, portable, or distributable electrical loads, including structures not permanently affixed to the ground

All capital and operating costs for new generation, transmission, or distribution facilities built exclusively for a data center must be assigned to that data center customer on an incremental cost basis

Shared facility costs must be allocated proportionally so the data center pays its embedded cost share plus incremental costs, and any cost allocation to other customer classes cannot result in greater adverse rate or service impacts than if the data center had not connected

Exempts data center customers with existing loads above 100 megawatts who signed agreements prior to the Act's effective date, though expansions exceeding 100 megawatts above contracted capacity become subject to these requirements
