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. Caps or standardizes the greenhouse-gas and pollution footprint a data center is allowed to produce. Determines whether and how fast a data center can actually get power, and who builds and pays for the transmission upgrades. Sets where and how a data center can be built, and which authority and reviews can accelerate or block a project.
