This is asinine. Precisely why you don’t piecemeal critical infrastructure to a hierarchical network of private companies. The hand isn’t talking to the foot. Bureaucracy may be slow and tedious, but it also wouldn’t prioritize construction of massive energy-consuming data centers without ensuring the power requirements can both be met *and* not disrupt the entire grid for the rest of the consumers. The only losers here are the residents who will continue to see their energy bills skyrocket.
