Data center operators would be required to power their facilities using energy sources not connected to the electrical grid—such as solar panels, wind turbines, or batteries—and to obtain water from sources independent of municipal water systems. This would affect large technology companies and other businesses that operate data centers, potentially increasing their construction and operating costs while reducing strain on local power grids and water supplies. The requirement would apply to both new data centers being built and existing facilities that would need to upgrade their infrastructure.
