Requires energy usage plan for proposed artificial intelligence data centers and cryptocurrency mining facilities; requires all electricity for artificial intelligence data centers and cryptocurrency mining facilities to be derived from new clean energy sources.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill requires new artificial intelligence (AI) data centers and cryptocurrency mining facilities in New Jersey to get their electricity from new renewable energy sources or nuclear power. Before building, these facilities must submit an energy usage plan to the Board of Public Utilities detailing how they will meet these requirements and minimize energy and water use. The law takes effect once a majority of states in the PJM region implement similar energy supply requirements for these types of facilities.
