Central adopts new rate for data center, other major power users.

The new rate, which applies to large consumers that need 20 megawatts of electricity or more, includes the following protections, all of which have been endorsed by third-party advocates as pro-consumer:

• 15-year minimum-term contracts with early termination penalties
• Prepayment for necessary electric infrastructure upgrades
• Provisions for ramping down electricity use during potential energy shortages
• Cash deposits and other financial security requirements
• Monthly energy demand minimums, which ensure sufficient revenues are generated to cover system costs.
