Google Data Center Power Deal Draws Opposition
[]
Comments on: News
News ReleaseINDIANAPOLIS – Power expansion tied partly to Google’s growing data center operations is facing opposition from ratepayer advocates and property owners concerned about who will pay for new infrastructure and where transmission lines will be built.
AES Indiana has agreed to provide roughly $1.3 billion for three new projects and upgrades associated with Google’s 390-megawatt Monrovia data center.
The dispute centers in part on a proposed $73.8 million transmission line.
Citizens Action Coalition argues Google should cover the full cost, citing utilities’ voluntary Ratepayer Protection Pledge.
The provider argued the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission does not have authority over route selection.
