Overview
This bill requires New Jersey’s data centers – large facilities that house computer servers – to develop and submit a plan to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) outlining how they would maintain water supply during an emergency, such as a drought or natural disaster. The plan must detail strategies for conserving water, securing alternative water sources, and mitigating potential disruptions to operations. This proactive measure aims to ensure the stability of data center operations and protect New Jersey’s water resources. The DEP will review these plans to assess their adequacy and potentially offer guidance to data centers.
