Michigan HB6251 mandates energy infrastructure and thermal management evaluations for large-scale data centers.

Michigan HB6251, known as the "data center energy infrastructure and thermal management evaluation act," requires developers of large-scale data centers to submit evaluations to the Michigan Public Service Commission. These evaluations must detail the anticipated electrical demand, cooling systems, and other infrastructure impacts. Proprietary information can be kept confidential, while a public summary must be made available. The commission can extend the certificate of completeness for an additional 12 months if no material changes occur.
