What the evidence says

Key findings

01
How it operates

Community participation · Disclosure & reporting

Gives affected residents a formal voice — hearings, comment periods, or benefit agreements — before or as a project proceeds. 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.

Comparable precedents

Related approaches worth comparing

Selected by shared tracked mechanisms or themes, with cross jurisdiction examples prioritized. Similarity is not legal equivalence.
