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 2690 requires data centers in Iowa to submit quarterly reports on water and energy usage to state agencies. Data center owners must report specific metrics like total water input (including sources), water usage effectiveness, total energy consumption, power usage effectiveness, and waste heat reuse. The reports must include facility details and performance data, and the state will publish this information publicly within 30 days. The bill also establishes separate electricity tariff rules for data centers to ensure costs are allocated fairly and prevent shifting expenses to other consumers. These requirements apply to all data centers operating in Iowa, with deadlines based on their operational history.
