Large data centers in Utah — facilities that house networked servers as their primary function and have a peak electrical demand of 10 megawatts or more — would be required to report detailed energy use information starting January 1, 2027. Before construction begins, an operator would need to notify the local electrical utility of the project's location, expected power demand, energy consumption, and energy sources; once operating, the facility would file similar reports annually. Electrical utilities would then compile this information across all large data centers and report aggregated figures to the Public Service Commission each year, and the commission would in turn deliver an annual analysis of data center energy trends and grid impacts to a legislative committee.
