Bill > HR6983

This bill, known as the Preventing Rate Inflation in Consumer Energy Act or PRICE Act, mandates that data centers in the United States must generate all the electricity they consume annually. Starting January 1, 2035, at least 75 percent of this generated electricity must come from clean energy sources, which are defined to include solar, wind, battery, green hydrogen, hydropower, and geothermal. By January 1, 2040, this requirement increases to 100 percent from clean energy sources. A data center is defined as a facility that meets specific criteria from the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 and consumes at least 50 megawatts of power daily. The bill also establishes a civil penalty of up to $100,000 per day for violations, with the Secretary of Energy required to set up an administrative process for issuing these penalties within 30 days of the bill's enactment.
