AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the federal Office of Electronic Government to update, within 180 days, the minimum requirements for new federal data centers to include protections for water resources, including the use of the most water efficient cooling systems. It would extend the end date of the existing federal data center requirements law from 2026 to 2031. It would also change Defense Department energy efficiency planning for data centers so that it identifies and integrates water efficiency technologies to improve resiliency and reduce the data centers' effects on water resources.
