Data Centers, Utilities

Chamber Passed·5/16/26

Alaska SB250 regulates data centers, requiring decommissioning plans and community benefit agreements.

Alaska SB250 mandates that data centers in the state file an end-of-life decommissioning and recycling plan with the Department of Environmental Conservation. The plan must detail actions for dismantling, secure data destruction, equipment removal, asset recovery, and site restoration. Additionally, data center customers must enter into a community benefit agreement with the municipality before construction begins. The agreement must address the municipality's needs, including emergency response, local hire, and other concerns.
