The headline is wrong.<p>Big tech is striking deals for electricity to get electricity.<p>The entities they're dealing with are accepting deals by which the public will subsidize big tech's electricity.<p>That big tech is negotiating the way it is, is expected.<p>That such deals should be available to them is probably not.
If it's public infrastructure being used, contracts should be public as well. Otherwise it's just an easy way to screw taxpayers with confidentiality clauses.
