Requires large data centers to report water and electricity use, and ends a tax break for most new AI data centers.
This bill would make large data centers share details about how much water and electricity they use. It would also end a special tax break for new artificial intelligence data centers, unless they meet high green building standards. This means communities would get more information about these facilities, and AI data center operators might pay more in taxes.
Today, AI data centers can get a tax break called bonus depreciation, and data centers generally don't have to publicly share their water and electricity usage. If this bill becomes law, new AI data centers would lose that tax break unless they meet high green building standards, and large data centers (using 25 megawatts or more) would have to regularly report detailed information on their resource use, which would then be made public.
