The New Jersey Senate has approved a bill to require data center operators to provide energy and water usage reports to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU). The bill calls for the owners or operators of data centers to submit reports within six months of its effective date. Under the bill, the reports would be published as an aggregated summary on the BPU website. Data center owners and operators would also be required to provide a 60-day notice of any operational or technology changes to their reported information.
