HB 2061 requires data centers in Tennessee with over 20 megawatts of power capacity to register with the Public Utility Commission (PUC) by January 1, 2027. Electric and water utilities serving these registered data centers must report monthly usage and service rates to the PUC. The PUC will compile and publish this data on its website, showing each data center’s energy consumption and utility rates. This bill directly affects large data center operators and their utility providers by creating a public reporting system for resource use.
