Large load facilities: These are facilities that use more than 75 megawatts of peak power (e.g., large data centers, crypto-mining operations, major industrial plants). New or expanding large load facilities would be directly affected by being classified as a distinct customer group and required to pay for their grid upgrade costs. They would also be incentivized to use cleaner energy and demand reduction methods to get priority service. The bill specifically excludes existing facilities whose increased demand is primarily due to electrification or greenhouse gas reduction measures, meaning its focus is on new power demands not related to existing climate goals.

Electric utilities: Companies that generate and deliver electricity would be required to implement these new standards, classifying large users differently, ensuring cost recovery, and prioritizing certain requests. They would need to conduct proceedings to consider these new standards. Residential and small business electricity customers would indirectly benefit from not having to cover the costs of grid upgrades required by large power users. State regulatory authorities (like Public Utility Commissions) would be required to consider and make decisions on adopting these new standards for the electric utilities they oversee within specific timeframes.
