伊利诺伊州长 JB Pritzker 提议暂停数据中心税收抵免两年 称须先评估电网与电价影响
Springfield——伊利诺伊州长 JB Pritzker 在本周的预算提案中呼吁暂停数据中心税收抵免两年，理由是须先评估这一行业对州内电网与居民电价的影响。
据 Data Center Dynamics 报道，按提议，自 7 月 1 日起两年内不再新批数据中心税收抵免，州政府部门将利用这段时间研究抵免政策的实际效果、电消费税结构及其对州财政收入的影响。伊利诺伊现行政策对投资门槛达标的项目提供销售与使用税等减免，最长可达 20 年：项目须在 60 个月内投资至少 2.5 亿美元、创造至少 20 个高薪岗位，并满足能效与可持续标准。据州预算报告，项目启动以来已有 37 个数据中心项目建成。
Pritzker 表示：「我们必须以伊利诺伊家庭的需求为先，审慎思考未来的能源使用。在需求上升、电价上涨的背景下，我提议对新数据中心税收抵免授权暂停两年。」他同时提出，区域电网运营商 PJM 应要求数据中心开发商自行承担供电容量成本，以保护普通用户不被涨价转嫁。该提议尚需州议会审议。（GSM 据 Data Center Dynamics 报道）
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker Proposes Two-Year Pause on Data Center Tax Credits to Study Grid and Rate Impacts
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Illinois Governor JB Pritzker used this week's budget proposals to call for a two-year pause on data center tax incentives, saying the state must first evaluate the industry's impact on the power grid and household electricity bills.
According to Data Center Dynamics, the proposal would halt new data center tax credit authorizations for two years beginning July 1, while state agencies study the effectiveness of the incentives, the electricity excise tax structure and their impact on state revenues. Under the current program, qualifying projects — at least $250 million invested over 60 months and at least 20 high-paying jobs, with efficiency and sustainability standards — receive sales and use tax exemptions for up to 20 years. The state budget report says 37 projects have been constructed since the program's inception.
"We need to think critically about our future energy usage with the needs of Illinois households at the forefront," Pritzker said. "So, in the face of rising demand and surging prices, I'm proposing a two-year pause on authorization of new data center tax credits." He also said regional grid operator PJM must require data center developers to pay for the capacity resources powering their operations, to protect consumers from higher rates. The proposal requires approval by the state legislature.
