AI Summary
This bill amends existing Michigan utility regulation law to require the Michigan Public Service Commission to publish a detailed annual report about data center water and energy usage starting in July 2027. Specifically, the commission must collect and publish information from public water supplies about the total water usage of each data center in their service area, as well as the total energy consumption of each data center measured in gigawatts per year. The bill defines a "data center" as a facility specifically designed and used for centralized data storage and processing, and defines "public water supply" according to the state's safe drinking water act. The bill also maintains the existing requirement for the commission to submit an annual report to the governor and legislature summarizing the commission's activities, which may include rules, opinions, and orders from the previous calendar year. This new reporting requirement aims to provide transparency and tracking of resource consumption by data centers in Michigan.
