About The Power Bill
Our parent site, AGI Scorecard, scores how far AI capability has actually come, including the capital expenditure behind it. This site takes the next step: that build-out has to be plugged in somewhere, and the question of who pays for the connection is decided in public proceedings almost nobody reads.
Method
| Every judgement page carries | The question as the title · a one-line verdict above the fold · a table · visible FAQs identical to the structured data · dated sources with links · the conditions that would flip the verdict |
|---|---|
| Both sides, always | The evidence that data centre growth lowered average prices is printed next to the evidence that it raised them. A page showing only one is arguing, not reporting |
| Tools | Compute only from numbers you type. The decomposer uses no external data at all; the rules check is editorial mapping, labelled as such. Nothing is uploaded |
| What we leave out | Any "$X on your bill" figure for a national audience · statistics we cannot attribute to the publishing body · supplier, tariff-switching or solar recommendations · affiliate links of any kind |
Verification, stated plainly
Several of the data publishers we cite are unreachable from the environment this site is maintained in. Where that applies we link the publisher so you can check directly, and we state only figures that several independent, named sources report identically. A figure here without a traceable source is a bug, and the site is built so that it cannot happen quietly.
Limits
- Not energy, legal or financial advice. Tariffs, dockets and rules differ by utility and by country.
- We cannot tell you what a data centre did to your bill. Your bill does not contain that information, and neither does any honest calculator.
- US and EU/UK focus. Other regions usually have equivalents of the same four mechanisms, but we do not guess at names.
- No account, no IP address stored, no full browser fingerprint.
