Vermont Sustainable Data Centers Act regulates data center deployment to ensure reliability, affordability, and environmental protection.

The Vermont Sustainable Data Centers Act establishes a regulatory framework for data center deployment, ensuring responsible growth of the industry. It mandates the Public Utility Commission to create a separate ratepayer class and tariff schedule for data centers, requiring contracts to specify duration, electricity usage, and payments. The Commission must also find that proposed data centers comply with environmental and economic criteria before issuing a certificate of public good. Data centers must submit quarterly reports on energy and water usage.
