Summary

The bill creates a reporting system for owners or operators of large data centers (10 MW or more) to submit information on size, power use, cooling, fuel consumption and related metrics. The state energy commission will collect, anonymize and post the data, and local governments can use the estimates when reviewing permits. Exemptions apply to certain public and utility facilities, and personal or customer‑specific data is protected.
