This bill requires a high performance computing ("HPC") facility operator to devote not less than 50% of the computing and data processing output of the HPC facility for a public benefit. As used in this bill, an "HPC facility" means a facility, other than a facility owned or operated by a federal, state, or local governmental entity, that houses or operates a supercomputer, data center, artificial intelligence (AI) data center, AI factory, AI-optimized computing facility, HPC or AI cluster or supercluster, or exascale computing system in this state that utilizes, on average, more than 50 megawatts per month for its operation and maintenance. ANNUAL REPORT This bill requires an HPC facility operator to annually report the source and amount of all energy utilized for its operation and maintenance to the department of environment and conservation ("department"), state energy policy council ("council"), comptroller of the treasury ("comptroller"), and executive head and governing body of each local government in which the facility is located. The annual report must meet all of the following criteria:  Specify the HPC facility's carbon footprint in terms of total annual greenhouse gas emissions as the direct result of its operation and energy consumption, including, but not limited to, resource extraction, manufacturing, assembly, and transportation of materials and hardware. Summarize the HPC facility operator's efforts to reduce the energy consumption and carbon footprint of the HPC facility. Specify each public benefit to which output was devoted, including the amount of output and the manner in which such public benefit was augmented. This bill requires the annual report to be submitted no later than January 31, 2027, and each January 31 thereafter. The department, comptroller, and council must post the annual reports prominently on their respective websites. ANNUAL INTERNAL AUDIT This bill requires an HPC facility operator to conduct an annual internal audit on its compliance with this bill, and upon request, permit such a compliance audit by the department, council, or comptroller, or a third party retained by the department, council, or comptroller to conduct the audit. The annual internal audit findings must be reported and posted in the same manner as the annual report. NONCOMPLIANCE If an HPC facility operator fails to submit an annual report or internal audit, or if a recipient of such report or audit finds that an HPC facility is not otherwise in compliance with this bill, then this bill requires the recipient to provide written notice to the HPC facility operator of noncompliance and that the HPC facility operator has 30 days to comply. If the HPC facility is not in compliance at the end of such period, the recipient must suspend any applicable operating license or permit of the HPC facility, pending compliance. The comptroller must certify compliance to the department and each applicable local government for purposes of reinstating a license or permit of the HPC facility. If an HPC facility operator fails to timely comply after receiving notice of noncompliance, then such license and permit must remain suspended, and the department and each applicable local government must not renew such license or permit of the HPC facility until the comptroller certifies compliance.
