How it operates

Disclosure & reporting · Utility rate / large-load tariff · Water standard

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.

Measures or limits how much water a data center draws for cooling, and how local scarcity is weighed in approvals.
