customers as it redirects power to AI data centers in Nevada. (The Associated Press)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>The Independent <\/em>has asked the companies for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A Liberty Utilities spokesperson told <em>The Independent,<\/em> \u201cLiberty Utilities has been proactively preparing for the transition to new wholesale power supply partner(s). In March 2026, Liberty filed with the CPUC to begin the selection process for new energy sources. We expect to issue a formal request for proposals this summer, prioritizing options that uphold customer affordability and renewable options.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The shift means that Liberty Utilities has less than a year to secure new power suppliers to replace most of its electricity supply as regional energy demand continues to rise. Meanwhile, Lake Tahoe residents are pushing back against AI data centers, saying they are driving up energy costs and straining the local grid.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div

require greater transparency and public input, rather than a fast-tracked process, <em>Fortune<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A separate protest from Tahoe Spark states that, \u201cCalifornia does not produce a Liberty-specific forecast of demand, peak conditions, or procurement needed for numerous California communities in a high wildfire risk
