Large data center companies would be required to report detailed information about how much energy and water they use to federal agencies and state governments, giving regulators better visibility into the environmental impact of the computing infrastructure that powers the internet and cloud services. These reports would help the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Energy, and Department of Agriculture track whether data centers are becoming more efficient and identify any concerning trends in resource consumption. The requirement would affect data center operators across the country and could influence future environmental policies and energy planning.
