Urges states in PJM Interconnection region to require data centers to obtain electricity from zero- or low-emission sources.

This resolution urges states in the PJM Interconnection region to enact policies requiring data centers to source their electricity from new zero- or low-emission energy sources. Data centers consume a significant portion of electricity, and their demand is expected to double by 2030. Clean energy sources, such as solar and wind, are seen as scalable and cost-competitive solutions to meet this growing demand. The resolution highlights the importance of clean energy to support data centers and alleviate the load on regional electric grids.
