The companies had been fighting a proposal brought by utility AEP Ohio in May that would require data centers and cryptocurrency miners to provide pre-payments and other financial assurances for their massive energy needs. AEP said at the time it was overloaded with requests from those two groups.

That explosion in demand prompted AEP Ohio this year to pause new contracts for data centers.
Big Tech, power companies, including Constellation Energy, and others began fighting AEP’s proposal before the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio in August.
