Requires data center owners and operators to submit semi-annual water and energy usage reports to BPU.

New Jersey's S 4827 requires data center owners and operators to submit semi-annual reports to the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) detailing their water and energy usage. The reports must include basic facility information (name, address, operation date), energy consumption in kilowatt hours, water sources and usage in cubic meters, and efficiency metrics like power usage effectiveness. Data centers receiving state financial incentives must also report sustainability metrics (e.g., renewable energy use, waste heat reuse), while others may voluntarily provide this data. The BPU must publish anonymized, aggregated data online within 30 days but keeps individual facility details confidential, with the reporting requirement lasting three years before potential permanent adoption.
