New York A09136 mandates thermal energy network feasibility assessments for new data centers and requires their design to capture and reuse waste.

New York A09136 requires the owner or operator of a new data center to submit a thermal energy network feasibility assessment to the Public Service Commission. This assessment must identify potential off-site thermal loads within one mile of the facility. The bill also mandates that new data centers be designed, constructed, and operated to capture and reuse waste heat through a thermal energy network. Facilities located within two miles of each other may participate in a shared thermal energy network.
