New package of energy bills would impose moratorium on data centers built on Mahomet Aquifer – WCIA (Champaign)

SB 4003 aims to prevent Illinoisans from electric bill increases with the addition of consumer rate caps. It would also repeal the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act signed by Gov. JB Pritzker in January that would deploy three gigawatts of battery storage by 2030. SB 4004 would prohibit data centers from using groundwater in the Mahomet Aquifer.

Anything to kill high paying new jobs for Illinois. AI is the future; Illinois will be a dinosaur state if they do not embrace it.
