Summary
The POWER Act orders the Department of Energy, in consultation with the EPA, to produce a report on how covered data centers consume electricity and water. The report is due two years after the law’s passage and then annually, detailing water drawn from public systems, on‑site power generation, consumer status, and connection costs. The goal is to ensure data centers do not strain water resources or receive hidden subsidies.
