What Happened
The Energy Information Agency announced plans to require U.S. data centers to disclose energy consumption details. The decision follows a letter from Senators Josh Hawley and Elizabeth Warren requesting data collection. The agency conducted pilot surveys in Texas, Washington state, and the Washington D.C.-Northern Virginia area. A second pilot survey launched in three additional states. EIA chief Tristan Abbey expects pilots to complete by September, with nationwide mandatory surveys to follow.
