Data Center Community Reinvestment Act of 2026

The Data Center Community Reinvestment Act of 2026 imposes a federal excise tax of one cent per kilowatt-hour on electricity consumed by data centers with a peak power load exceeding one megawatt. The revenue generated from this tax is divided equally among five specific government funds: the Land and Water Conservation Fund, the Housing Trust Fund, the Hazardous Substance Superfund, the Highway Trust Fund, and a newly established Energy Technology Trust Fund. This legislation directly affects large-scale data center operators by adding a cost to their energy usage, while directing the collected funds toward infrastructure, environmental cleanup, housing, and energy technology initiatives.
