In context

The 60% jump in data center demand, particularly the sixfold increase to 6GW in West Virginia, provides a concrete catalyst for expanding the regulated rate base. The planned 25% increase to the $19 billion transmission budget translates to ~$4.75 billion in additional spend to support this load.
