What the evidence says

Key findings

01
How it operates

Disclosure & reporting · Moratorium · Tax incentive / clawback

Forces a data center’s energy, water, and impact data into public view, so regulators, ratepayers, and communities can see figures operators would otherwise keep private. Check whether the policy creates, changes, or removes a development pause or prohibition, and which facilities and approvals it covers. Lowers the public cost of building a data center, and can attach conditions or clawbacks that recover the benefit if commitments are not met.
