  The Data Center Water Problem Is Soluble

  ITIF has published a policy report arguing that data center water use can be managed through state-led regulation, standardized disclosure, watershed-based review, and targeted federal support.

  • The report says states should require facility-level water disclosures, use watershed-specific performance standards, and establish joint water-energy review for large data center loads.
  • It also recommends federal action on standardized metrics, procurement, and R&D rather than a national water mandate; examples cited include Nvidia Rubin liquid cooling and Microsoft zero-water cooling designs.

  New Jersey lawmakers pass bill to establish large load data center tariff

  New Jersey lawmakers have passed a bill directing the state’s Board of Public Utilities to create a dedicated data center tariff for facilities of 50MW or more. The bill is now headed to Governor Mikie Sherrill for final approval.

  • The bill applies to existing and new facilities, lowers the threshold from 100MW to 50MW, and aggregates sites under common ownership or on contiguous sites as one large data center.
  • It requires projects to show they are not proposed elsewhere, provide financial guarantees covering at least 85% of requested service for 10 years, commit to demand response and flexibility programs, and be curtailed before residential customers during grid emergencies; it also prioritizes interconnection for data centers bringing clean generation or storage.
  • The article also notes related actions in other states, including a new Oregon rate class, and laws or proposals in Oklahoma, Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, and Virginia.
