What it does
The PRICE Act would require all data centers in the United States to generate 100% of the electricity they consume annually, with at least 75% from clean energy sources starting in 2035 and 100% from clean energy sources starting in 2040. It applies to facilities consuming at least 50 megawatts per day as defined under the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. Violations would incur civil penalties of up to $100,000 per day, enforced by the Secretary of Energy through an administrative process established within 30 days of enactment. The bill aims to prevent rate inflation in consumer energy by shifting electricity generation responsibility to large data centers.
