The Data Center Community Impact Act mandates a study on the effects of data centers on communities of color and low-income communities.

The Data Center Community Impact Act requires the Secretary of Energy to conduct a study on the effects of data centers on communities of color and low-income communities. The study will assess the impact on soil and land-use practices, the electric grid, wastewater systems, job creation, and displacement. The Secretary must consult with local governments and Indian Tribes and submit a report to Congress within 18 months. The report will include a map of data center locations, recommendations for federal coordination, and guidelines for state and local governments to mitigate potential harms.
