Urges states in PJM Interconnection region to require data centers to obtain electricity from new zero- or low-emission sources of energy.
This non-binding Senate Resolution urges states in the PJM Interconnection region (including New Jersey and 12 other states) to require data centers to source electricity from new zero- or low-emission energy sources. It does not create new legal requirements but calls on other states to adopt such policies, citing data centers' current use of 4% of U.S. electricity (projected to double by 2030) as a growing strain on regional grids. The resolution highlights that clean energy sources like solar and wind could help meet this demand while supporting climate goals. It is a symbolic action, not a legislative mandate, intended to encourage policy changes in other states.
