Data Centers and Energy Load Tracker
September 2026
State legislation on data center siting, tax incentives, large-load electricity costs, on-site power and water. Legislation only: utility commission dockets and tariff filings are not covered.
Data Centers and Energy Load Tracker is issued monthly. Receive each issue by email, with the bills behind it in your dashboard. 14-day trial.
In brief
California dominated September 2026 activity, enacting nine bills and vetoing one. The new laws impose water and energy reporting requirements on data centers (AB 1577, AB 2619, AB 2469), mandate separate retail electricity rate classifications and tariffs for large energy users (AB 2383, SB 886, SB 1168), and bring data centers under environmental review while allowing expedited certification for zero-carbon projects (SB 887). A federal ratepayer protection bill, H.R. 9340, passed one chamber; it would require utilities to charge large-load customers rates covering the full incremental cost of serving them. Pennsylvania advanced three bills through committee or one chamber, addressing emergency planning, zoning, and transparency for large-load facilities.
Key bills
- CA AB 2619: Requires data centers to report water use estimates before licensing and actual use upon renewal. Signed into law.

- CA SB 887: Prohibits CEQA categorical exemptions for data centers; allows expedited certification for zero-carbon projects meeting community benefit conditions. Signed into law.
- CA AB 2266: Requires a uniform capacity valuation method for resource adequacy obligations and consolidated procurement reporting starting January 2030. Signed into law.
