LA HB922

Prohibits electric utilities regulated by the Public Service Commission from increasing rates for residential household customers as a direct or indirect result of new electric demand from data centers (defined as facilities with 50+ megawatts of demand for cloud computing, AI, cryptocurrency mining, or large-scale servers)

Requires all costs associated with data center electric demand—including generation, transmission, distribution, fuel, operations, and infrastructure—to be allocated solely to the data center customers through special contracts, tariffs, or separate rate classes

Mandates the Public Service Commission promulgate rules requiring minimum 15-year contracts with data centers that include full cost responsibility for overruns, decommissioning, and early termination

Directs the Commission to deny any rate adjustment, tariff change, or certificate of public convenience and necessity that would shift data center-related costs to household customers

Applies only to actions taken on or after the effective date; becomes effective upon the governor's signature
