AG Watch: How Maryland Is Meeting the Data Center Age
Erek L. Barron authored an article for Law360 examining how Maryland is responding to growing electricity demand driven by data center development and artificial intelligence. The article discusses the state's approach to allocating grid-related costs, recent changes to Maryland's large-load tariff framework, and the role of the Maryland Office of People's Counsel.
Erek writes, "As states compete for data center investment while confronting rising electricity costs, that debate is increasingly moving from regulatory commissions to legislatures and courts."
