With a new data centre, your electric coop rates can go up with no benefit to you whatsoever.

In America electric rates are increasing due to 20 years of stagnation and failure to invest in transmission, and new data centers are on average associated with lower, not higher retail electric rates. This is because large consumers drive down marginal prices.

In your country things may be proceeding differently, but that's the story here.
