Plain-English Summary

The federal government would require the National Institute of Standards and Technology to create guidelines for how data centers measure their energy consumption and to research ways to better predict future energy demands in the tech industry. This would help data centers operate more efficiently and give energy planners better information about how much power will be needed in the future. The effort primarily affects large technology companies that operate data centers and energy utilities that supply power to them.
