US energy providers are adopting new subsidiary and ring-fenced corporate structures to serve large data center loads while managing risk and shielding existing customers from cost increases. These arrangements include dedicated subsidiaries for power supply and tariff mechanisms like prepaid infrastructure costs and collateral requirements to secure revenue.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Data Infrastructure.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Data center founders should prepare to negotiate power deals with new subsidiary entities and meet stricter financial assurances. Your costs now more clearly include risk mitigation fees, so update your pricing models to reflect prepayments and collateral demands.
