If you live in one of these regions, especially the Dominion Energy one, you may see sharp increases in electricity bills. Data center alley in Virginia is growing fast.

Yep. The energy companies have secret deals with big tech because they are intentionally trying to compete with surrounding areas to get the most data centers. This means that big tech gets development discounts and the cost gets passed to the consumer whether it’s residential or small businesses.
