flag A data center proposal in Indiana stirs debate over rising electricity costs and grid strain, despite promises of economic benefits.

flag A proposed data center in Henry County, Indiana, has sparked local concern over rising electricity costs, as U.S. data centers now use over 4% of the nation’s power. flag Residents fear the project could increase utility bills and strain the grid, especially given a 14% rise in Indiana’s electricity rates since 2013. flag While developers highlight economic benefits and say they’ll determine power needs before finalizing plans, critics question the financial impact. flag State law requires data centers to cover 80% of grid upgrade costs, but approval for rate increases remains pending. flag The project’s future hinges on balancing economic promises against growing energy cost concerns.
