Latest action on S. 1475: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects large data centers, crypto mining sites, and the utilities that sell them electricity. These facilities would face new reporting rules and possible fees if their power is too polluting. Utilities would have to report more data and could not pass the fees to regular customers. Households could see benefits if grants lower home electric bills, but the size of that effect would depend on how the programs work.

Why this matters: Data centers and crypto mining sites are using more electricity, and this bill would push that growth toward cleaner power. Facilities that use higher-pollution electricity could face new costs. Facilities that use zero-carbon power around the clock could avoid the emissions-based fees. The bill could also affect local grids, future power projects, and household bills, but the results would depend on how agencies and utilities carry it out.

Key provisions in S. 1475

• The bill covers large data centers and crypto mining sites. A site is covered if it has more than 100 kilowatts of installed computing power, including federal data centers.
• Facility owners must report key power details every year. They must include electricity use, grid and on-site power sources, ownership, location, utility provider, and relevant power purchase contracts.
• Utilities that serve covered facilities must also report each year. They must list the power supplied, the energy source mix, and customer rates for the current year and the previous three years.
• The Environmental Protection Agency must measure each covered facility’s greenhouse gas pollution. It must calculate tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilowatt-hour for grid power and behind-the-meter power, meaning power made or used on site.
• The Environmental Protection Agency must set regional grid pollution baselines by December 31, 2025. From 2027 through 2034, each baseline drops each year by 11% of its 2026 value, and it becomes zero in 2035 and later.
