What an odd phrasing. Doubling full time power loads for data centers(and BTC mining) strengthena the grid, it is a 24/7 virtually perfect base load they can count on and dump power too.
It is the residential and commercial sectors which are causing them issues much more off and on loads.
The fragility on display here is that there is great demand for electricity (i.e. via compute centere), whereas base power generation has been crippled for decades.
The lawmakers attempt above is to constrain the risk of increased grid demand, as blackouts are politically unpopular, and potentially life threatening.
Agree that predictable large scale demand is good for utilities.
Ah, gotcha.
