HARRISBURG — With the explosive growth of Big Tech’s data centers threatening to overload U.S. electricity grids, policymakers are taking a hard look at a tough-love solution: bumping the energy-hungry data centers off grids during power emergencies.

It’s not clear that any state has a solution and the actual effect of data centers on electricity bills is difficult to pin down.
