COTTON INTRODUCES BILL TO LOWER ENERGY COSTS FOR ARKANSANS
We're excited to share Senator Cotton's "DATA Act of 2026" designed to "...accelerate American energy innovation while also lowering energy costs.... The DATA Act will eliminate outdated federal regulations and enable manufacturers, data centers, and other energy-intensive industries to build customized electricity systems without impacting existing power grids."
The senator's bill incorporates design features of "Consumer Regulated Electricity" (CRE):
- Accelerate energy innovation, boost U.S. competitiveness, and support economic growth through off grid power solutions.
- Exempt new, physically isolated off grid electricity providers and certain consumer regulated utilities from outdated federal regulations not designed for on site, self-contained power systems.
- Enable manufacturers, data centers, and other energy intensive industries to build reliable, resilient, customized electricity systems without impacting existing grids or ratepayers.
- Limit eligibility to systems fully isolated from the bulk power grid to preserve grid reliability and public safety.
