Key Points
- Big data centers would have to produce (generate) all the electricity they use each year, instead of relying on the local power grid.
- Starting in 2035, at least 75% of the power they generate would need to come from clean sources like solar, wind, batteries, green hydrogen, hydropower, or geothermal.
- Starting in 2040, 100% of the power they generate for their own use would need to be from clean sources.
- Data centers that don’t comply could face civil fines up to $100,000 per day until they fix the problem.
- The Energy Department would have to set up a process for issuing these fines within 30 days after the bill becomes law.
