House passes bill aimed at addressing impact of data centers on energy costs

Staying informed about local legislation is crucial for anyone navigating the real estate market. Recently, the House passed a bill that requires AI data centers to cover the full costs of their power consumption and any necessary transmission upgrades. The goal? To help protect families from increased energy bills, while also supporting innovation in our communities. As someone who’s focused on maximizing equity and advocating for clients throughout Western New York, I keep a close eye on how policy shifts like this can impact homeownership and neighborhood stability. Knowledge is power—especially when it comes to your real estate decisions.
