Introduced Text

Pennsylvania HB2535 regulates large load users, requiring emergency operations plans and infrastructure inventories for occupancy certificates.

Pennsylvania HB2535, the Commercial Data Center Public Safety Act, mandates that large load users submit emergency operations plans and infrastructure inventories to obtain occupancy certificates. These plans must include details like emergency power shutoff switch locations, aisle containment systems, and refrigerants used. The act defines large load users as facilities with a peak demand of 25 megawatts or more. Confidentiality of submitted security information is protected, exempt from public disclosure if it could jeopardize safety.
