Requires owner or operator of data center to submit water and energy usage report to BPU.

New Jersey's S 4293 requires data center owners or operators to submit annual reports to the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) detailing their water and energy usage. The reports must include specific metrics like total energy consumption, water sources, energy efficiency calculations (such as power usage effectiveness), and waste heat reuse data. These reports will be published on the BPU's website within 30 days of receipt, promoting transparency about data center resource use. The bill directly affects all data centers operating in New Jersey, mandating standardized reporting to track environmental impact.
