Data centers must generate their own electricity, with a transition to 100% clean energy by 2040.
The Preventing Rate Inflation in Consumer Energy Act, or PRICE Act, mandates that U.S. data centers must generate all the electricity they consume annually. It requires these data centers to transition to 75% clean energy by 2035 and 100% clean energy by 2040. Clean energy sources include solar, wind, battery, green hydrogen, hydropower, and geothermal. The bill also establishes an administrative process for enforcing these requirements, with civil penalties for violations.
