An Act providing for annual reporting of energy consumption and water consumption by data centers; and imposing a penalty.

Summary

The Data Center Energy and Water Reporting Act obligates any data center in the state with a peak electric demand of 10 MW or more to submit an annual report on its electricity and water usage to the Department of Environmental Protection. The report must detail monthly consumption, efficiency measures, waste heat, and projected future demand, and the department will publish aggregate trends. Failure to file incurs a $10,000 per day civil penalty, which is deposited into a low‑income electric customer assistance fund.
