A bill for an act relating to water and energy use for data centers, including reporting and tariff requirements, and including effective date provisions.

HF 2447 requires data centers in Iowa to submit quarterly reports on water and energy usage, including details like water sources, efficiency metrics (e.g., water usage effectiveness), and energy consumption data. It also mandates a separate utility tariff classification for data centers to ensure their costs are fairly allocated without shifting expenses to other electricity users. Data center operators must report basic facility information (name, address, operational dates) alongside usage metrics, with reports published online by state agencies. These requirements apply to all existing and new data centers within specified timeframes after the bill’s effective date.
