Talen Energy has requested U.S. regulators to dismiss a challenge to its recent data center deal with Amazon. The opposition, led by a group of electric utilities, argues that the agreement might lead to higher power bills for the public.
"It is an unlawful attempt to hijack this limited interconnection service agreement amendment proceeding that they have no stake in and turn it into an ad hoc national referendum on the future of data center load," Talen said in its filing with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
