A verdict applies only to the wording shown.

Public statement checked

Under Minn. Stat. §§ 216B.1622 and 216B.1623 (2025), utilities cannot pass the costs of serving a data center to other ratepayers, and data centers are required to pay for all necessary electrical system upgrades and buildouts.

Said by the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission · Minnesota

Review scope: Statute and PUC page read 1 November 2026

Evidence and limits

Evidence limitation: The Commission's definition of the very large customer class, which existing data center agreements fall under the subdivision 3 exemption, any approved data center tariff or agreement, and whether specific upgrade costs have been charged to a data center.

What this covers. 1 checked claim so far about projects in Minnesota. That is because those are the Minnesota claims DataCenterData has checked, not a count of claims or of data centers. Where a state, operator, project or topic shows no checked claim, read it as “not yet checked by DataCenterData”.

What a verdict means. A verdict applies only to the wording shown and the evidence linked on the check date. Where a separate question appears beside a statement checked, the verdict is about that statement, and the question has its own answer. “Unknown” means the reviewed evidence did not establish the point; it never means zero or false.
