Taylor | T000490 | taylor.house.gov | taylor | https://taylor.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Dave Taylor (OH-02) released the following statement on today’s passage of H.R. 9340, the Ratepayer Protection Act. This bill would establish a federal standard for protecting American consumers from surging energy costs resulting from local large-load electricity users like AI data centers. “Ohio is rapidly emerging as a national hub for digital infrastructure, and Buckeye families should not have to bear rising energy costs resulting from local data center development,” said Congressman Taylor. “Today, I was proud to vote in support of the Ratepayer Protection Act to ensure data centers pay their fair share and shield consumers from soaring prices. Winning the AI race against adversaries like China should not come at the expense of Americans’ pocketbooks, and I encourage local, state, and federal officials to continue working collaboratively to enhance transparency in the development process, establish Ohio as a national energy leader, and ensure our state remains an affordable place to live and raise a family for generations to come.” The bill text of the Ratepayer Protection Act is available here. ### | 1 | 2026-09-17T09:52:05Z | 2026-09-17T09:53:00Z |
