What it costs to leave a large-load power contract
Three approved exit formulas run at a term length you choose, each with the language and the docket page behind it.What walking away early would cost you, at your load and your remaining term, under three real tariffs.Three approved exit formulas at identical inputs: one capped, one uncapped, one with no buyout recorded at all.If a data center wants out of its power contract early, it still owes the utility. This shows how much, under three different state rules.How long a signed load stays on the book, priced as the number of minimum monthly bills owed to leave.
At 300 MW with 120 months left on the term, leaving costs 60 minimum monthly bills under Ameren in Missouri, 120 under Evergy in Missouri, and 120 under Georgia Power in Georgia, which records no buyout at all.
Each number is the row's own formula, run against your inputs.
Minimum monthly bills, not dollars. Multiply by your own minimum monthly bill to get money. The atlas records these formulas as multiples of a Minimum Monthly Bill, and it does not hold your contracted rate, so it will not invent one.
Missouri, open to everyone Two utilities under one statute, and two different exit rules.
“If a customer terminates its service under its LLCS Service Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph 12 during the ramp period, the Customer shall pay to Ameren Missouri an Exit Fee in an amount equal to the applicable Minimum Monthly Bill multiplied by the number of months in the remaining term of the load ramp period plus sixty (60) calendar months. If the customer terminates its service under its LLCS Service Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph 12 after the ramp period, the customer shall pay to Ameren Missouri an “Exit Fee” in an amount equal to the applicable Minimum Monthly Bill multiplied by the lesser of (x) a period of sixty (60) calendar months or (y) the number of months in remaining Term or Extension Term (such lesser period, the “Termination Fee Period”).”

24 months' notice to terminate, 36 months to avoid auto-renewal. Exit Fee = Minimum Monthly Bill x the LESSER of 60 months or the months remaining. During the ramp period: the remaining ramp months PLUS 60 months.
Collected text, verbatim from the record
Two distinct notice provisions per the Stipulation and Agreement, Case ET-2025-0184: Sec. 8 requires 36 months' notice to avoid automatic renewal into a 5-year Extension Term; Sec. 12 requires 24 months' notice to terminate service. Exit Fee = the applicable Minimum Monthly Bill multiplied by the LESSER of 60 calendar months or the months remaining in the Term/Extension Term (during the ramp period: the remaining ramp months PLUS 60 calendar months). Early Termination Fee = two times the Minimum Monthly Bill times the number of months by which notice falls short of 24 months. The 60-month cap is the material difference from Evergy's LLPS, whose Exit Fee runs the full remaining Term with a 12-month floor and no cap.

"One key provision is the requirement that in order to terminate or change rate schedules before the end of the Term or any Extension Term, the customer must provide written notice 36 months prior to the requested date of termination or schedule change. In such circumstance, the customer would be subject to an exit fee equal to the nominal value of the Minimum Monthly Bill times the number of months remaining in the Term or Extension Term, or for 12 months, whichever is greater (the ‘Exit Fee’). An additional fee would apply if the customer seeks to terminate with less than 36-months’ notice (the ‘Early Termination Fee’). In such case, the Early Termination Fee shall be equal to the Exit Fee plus two times the nominal value of the Minimum Monthly Bill times the number of months, less than the 36-months’ notice required for termination."

36 months' notice. Exit Fee = Minimum Monthly Bill x the GREATER of the months remaining or 12 months. No cap. Shorter notice adds the Exit Fee plus 2 x MMB per month short.
Collected text, verbatim from the record
To terminate or change rate schedules before the end of the Term or Extension Term, a customer must give 36 months' written notice and pay an Exit Fee equal to the nominal value of the Minimum Monthly Bill times the greater of the number of months remaining in the Term/Extension Term or 12 months; shorter notice triggers an additional Early Termination Fee equal to the Exit Fee plus two times the nominal Minimum Monthly Bill times the number of months short of the 36-month notice requirement.

One state over, the same question A taste of the all-states matrix, not the matrix.
“Under the draft terms and conditions, customers would pay the higher of tariffed rates or a minimum bill amount each billing period they are a customer. If the customer ended the contract early, the customer would be liable for the minimum bill amounts (not tariffed rate amounts) for each period for the remaining term of the contract. The tariffed rates would be subject to future review and modification by the Commission using normal ratemaking processes. However, the minimum bill amounts would not.”

Minimum-bill liability survives early termination for each period of the remaining term of the contract. No buyout mechanism recorded.
Collected text, verbatim from the record
THE HEADLINE TERM -- minimum-bill liability SURVIVES early termination. Verbatim from the order's Section II, FINDINGS OF FACT (p.2), describing the draft terms and conditions the Commission then approved: "Under the draft terms and conditions, customers would pay the higher of tariffed rates or a minimum bill amount each billing period they are a customer. If the customer ended the contract early, the customer would be liable for the minimum bill amounts (not tariffed rate amounts) for each period for the remaining term of the contract. The tariffed rates would be subject to future review and modification by the Commission using normal ratemaking processes. However, the minimum bill amounts would not." That framework is then ADOPTED by the order's own decretal language (p.4): "ORDERED FURTHER, that the Commission approves the updated tariffs and the large load contracting framework for the terms and conditions implementing the revisions to the Company’s Rules and Regulations as approved in the Revision Approval Order," and (p.5) "...including with respect to the minimum bill, termination, and collateral provisions established for these large load customers." So the remaining-term minimum-bill exposure is a Commission-approved framework term, not merely a Staff description. The PSC's own March 2026 Data Center Fact Sheet states the same purpose in plain words: "The purpose for the new rule is to ensure data centers continue paying for new infrastructure even if they leave the state." NOTE (unchanged by the gate): an unsourced secondary claim that an early-terminating customer owes only "2 years" of minimum bills is contradicted by this order's text and is NOT recorded as a fact; the gate found no primary supporting it.

Georgia Power is open here as one row of the 12 approved instruments across 9 states that carry exit terms. It sits beside the two Missouri rows because comparing exit regimes across state lines is the point of this block, and because one open row out of 12 is the honest way to show you what the rest reads like. The other 9 are named below with their values locked. See what unlocks them.
Ameren's cap is the post-ramp figure. During the ramp period the same row records the fee as the remaining ramp months plus 60 months. Read the full text on the card.
Every exit rule in the atlas, state by state
12 instruments, 9 statesStarts here in this viewEvery exit provision the atlas holds, in the instrument's own words, so you can quote one and cite the page it came from.Before you sign anything, this is what leaving costs under each approved tariff, and which states cap the number.How your own exit provision reads next to the ones other commissions have already approved.The rules for walking away, one row per utility, in the language the regulator actually approved.Exit terms decide how long a signed load stays on the book, so this is the durability of the revenue behind it.

What your megawatts trip, and where
22 instruments carry a thresholdStarts here in this viewThe megawatt line that decides whether your client is inside one of these regimes at all.Start here. Your load size decides which tariff you land in, and in some states the line is lower than you expect.Where each state drew its large-load line, the statutory floor against what utilities actually filed.How big a project has to be before these special rules apply to it. Both Missouri utilities went lower than the law required.The eligibility line under each regime, which is the first thing a project either clears or does not.
Missouri is the open state, so start there. The statute set the floor at 100 MW and both Missouri utilities filed at 75, voluntarily reaching loads the legislature had left out.

A 30 MW load is not a large load in Missouri. In 6 of the other nine states the atlas holds an instrument whose threshold is lower than Missouri's 75 MW, and 9 such instruments in total. The full ladder runs from the lowest threshold in the corpus to the highest.
The abatement is the least stable line in the pro forma
Incentive stabilityStarts here in this viewThe exemption statutes, and the moratoria, repeals and ordinances now moving against them.The tax break you underwrote can have a sunset date or a bill against it. This is which ones do.The tax position of the customers you are being asked to serve, and how firm it actually is.Four states moved against their own data-center tax break inside eighteen months. This is who, and by what mechanism.The exemption is usually the softest line in the model. This tracks what is moving against it and when it sunsets.
Four states moved against the data-center incentive inside eighteen months by three different mechanisms: a moratorium, a sunset repeal and a substitute tax. Arizona is the open row here.
Collected text and source
Summary field, verbatim from the record
H.B. 4168, an omnibus taxation bill carrying the Legislature's FY2027 budget-implementation tax provisions, was signed by Governor Katie Hobbs on June 13, 2026 as Laws 2026, Chapter 140. Section 31 of the Act imposes a three-year moratorium (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029) barring the Arizona Commerce Authority from accepting NEW applications for the computer-data-center TPT/use-tax exemption under A.R.S. § 41-1519 (see companion instrument az-ars-41-1519-cdc-tax-relief) and barring any new computer data center from qualifying for that relief during the moratorium window; the moratorium repeals itself automatically after June 30, 2029 (a 'delayed repeal' per the section's own title) unless further legislative action intervenes. This was the compromise outcome of a fight the Arizona Legislature's own reporting corps (Arizona Capitol Times) described as dominating the 2026 session: Governor Hobbs's executive budget had proposed eliminating the data-center tax exemption entirely, following what the same reporting describes as 'intense backlash in 2025 against proposed data center projects in Tucson, Chandler and Marana'; legislative Republicans opposed outright elimination; the enacted compromise pauses rather than repeals the program. Governor Hobbs, quoted by Arizona Capitol Times taking questions from reporters July 7, 2026: "I think that this pause in the exemption gives us a chance to really examine the policies ... Nobody's talking about a moratorium on data centers themselves. There are places where they make sense, where they provide economic opportunity and where they're not sucking the groundwater and overtaxing the utilities." Separately reported (same Arizona Capitol Times piece, and corroborated by independent aggregator search results not independently re-fetched this tick): a surge in last-minute applications to beat the June 30, 2026 cutoff, which this collector did NOT independently verify against an Arizona Commerce Authority primary count this tick (see notes).
