Op-ed: New Hampshire Shows How to Unleash Electricity for the AI Era

"As Artificial Intelligence (AI) drives surging electricity demand, policymakers across the country are struggling to respond, often by restricting data centers or saddling utility customers and taxpayers with costly upgrades.

A new Wall Street Journal op-ed co-authored by Travis Fisher, director of energy and environmental studies at the Cato Institute, and Glen Lyons, founder of Advocates for Consumer Regulated Electricity, highlights how New Hampshire just approved an elegant alternative: HB 672, a one-page law that clears red tape for off-grid electricity providers. The reform opens the door to competition, faster project development, and innovative solutions to meet energy needs.

The authors argue this could re-create the fierce competition and rapid innovation that built America’s electricity sector in the first place."
