Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren and Republican Senator Josh Hawley are urging the US's Energy Information Administration (EIA) to provide better information on how much electricity data centers use. The senators argue that this information is essential for accurate grid planning and prevents large companies from increasing electricity costs for American families. This comes amidst concerns about the growing popularity of data centers in data-center-dominated states such as Virginia and Georgia. The bill supporting the bill would require data centers to supply their own power sources to protect consumers. No federal government body currently collects numbers on energy use from data centers specifically.
