I received my electric bill today and looked through the details and found an additional charge this month called the "Generating Arkansas Jobs Act". After doing some googling, "it allows utilities to bypass traditional regulatory models and pass construction costs to ratepayers immediately". I was further frustrated that "Proponents argue the legislation guarantees reliable power for massive energy-intensive facilities like artificial intelligence (AI) and data centers."

My question is whether this is a flat charge or something that is based on a percentage of your electric bill? The timing of this couldn't have been worse considering we are entering the high usage season.
