Summary
The GRID Act would prohibit covered private entities from building, owning, operating, or maintaining new data centers of 20 megawatts or more unless they derive all their energy, including back-up power, from sources separate from the electric grid, beginning 180 days after enactment. Existing data centers that use grid power could continue for 10 years by obtaining Zero Rate Effect Certificates from the Secretary of Energy, which are issued only if the data center would not raise ratepayer electricity rates, with residential ratepayers prioritized. The bill also requires public reporting of data center utility usage, real property acquisitions, and utility agreements, imposes civil penalties of at least $1 million per day for violations, and requires project labor agreements for qualifying power sources.
