Maryland citizens are set to bear a significant financial burden as the state embarks on a $2 billion power grid upgrade. This initiative aims to accommodate data centers for artificial intelligence that are located outside the state.
State officials have begun appealing to federal energy regulators regarding this costly upgrade, highlighting the potential impact on local residents who will ultimately foot the bill.
Concerns have been voiced about how this financial obligation may affect the citizens of Maryland, as they navigate the implications of supporting infrastructure for out-of-state enterprises.
