Fredrick Love on Technology

 

 


Blocked new electricity-generating plants for data centers

A bill that would alter the process for creating new electricity-generating plants to meet the state's anticipated energy needs stalled in the Arkansas Senate. SB 307 proposes that the Arkansas Public Service Commission must approve a strategic investment within six months of application. Supporters of the bill have also said it will make Arkansas more competitive in attracting to the state new employers, such as data centers that may require a lot of energy to operate, which would create more jobs.

11 senators who voted against SB 307. The legislation received 17 affirmative votes, one shy of the 18 needed for a bill to pass out of the Senate. Murdock was one of four senators who did not cast a vote. Democratic Sens. Greg Leding of Fayetteville and Fredrick Love of Mabelvale, and Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Jonesboro, voted present.
