Ohio’s midterm election results are putting electricity affordability and data center development at the center of the debate over the state’s energy future, according to clean energy and policy advocates. The debate extends beyond electricity bills to water quality, water availability and the cost of tax incentives. Joe Flarida, executive director of the group Power a Clean Future Ohio , said voters want elected officials to respond to rising utility bills. "Ohioans on Election Day went to the ballot and voted for some more accountability. They want to see lower rates. They want to see utilities that are working harder to serve them, and they have not experienced that over the past several years," Flarida stressed. Flarida noted his organization will keep listening to residents and working directly with local governments. He hopes new state leadership will pursue practical affordability solutions and investment in renewable energy jobs as lawmakers finish this year’s session and begin again in 2027. Analysts said data center expansion is contributing to growing electricity demand and higher prices. Ohio’s data center sales tax exemption cost the state $1.6 billion in revenue in 2025.
