About the work

A closer look.

You send one line from your electric bill, or one number someone told you about data centers and power, and I walk it back to the record that set it: the state commission docket, the utility tariff page, the auction result. What comes back in one page: - the number as the filing states it, quoted, with the docket or tariff page and the date I checked it - who pays it and over what term (Virginia's GS-5, Ohio's DCT and PJM capacity charges all spread differently) - the parts usually left out, like a demand floor that only bites above 25 MW, or a ceiling that resets in 2028 - a plain closing line: what I verified, what I could not reach, and what I would not decide for you Up to three numbers in one order. Sources are primaries: SCC PUR-2025-00058, PUR-2026-00056 and PUR-2026-00131, AEP Ohio's DCT tariff page, PJM capacity auction results, and utility cost-of-service studies with their funding named. If you searched 'why is my electric bill going up', 'data center raising my power bill' or 'who pays for data center electricity', this is that work. 72 hours, one revision included.
