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

This bill requires data center owners and operators in New Jersey to submit quarterly reports to the Board of Public Utilities detailing their water and energy consumption. The reports must include specific metrics such as total energy and water usage, power usage effectiveness, renewable energy factors, and sustainability indicators like waste heat reuse and air temperature settings. Data centers must provide this information within six months of the bill's effective date, or within three months if they have been operating for at least one year, and must continue submitting updates every three months thereafter. The legislation aims to increase transparency around resource usage at data centers by establishing standardized reporting requirements for facilities that store, manage, and process digital data.
