Nevada's primary utility, NV Energy, is suing data centre developer Tract, alleging the company is trying to bypass the public regulatory process through private arbitration. The utility claims this move is an attempt to shift the immense costs of new power infrastructure, required for Tract's large-scale developments, onto existing customers.

◆ The Wire takeaway

The handshake deals for data centre power are ending in court. Your utility provider is now more likely to sue you to cover infrastructure costs than to negotiate quietly, making public opinion part of your site selection risk.
