| | | 10100HB3412ham001 | - 2 - | LRB101 08764 HLH 57768 a |
|
| 1 | | anticipated electrical energy needs of the data | 2 | | center: | 3 | | (i) over the course of the first 12 consecutive | 4 | | months of operation; and | 5 | | (ii) on average, over the course of 12 | 6 | | consecutive months, excluding the first 12 months | 7 | | of operation; and | 8 | | (B) documentation of the expected quantity of | 9 | | renewable energy to be generated on site or purchased | 10 | | by the data center through renewable energy credits or | 11 | | otherwise delivered to the site. | 12 | | (2) A water resources plan that provides the following | 13 | | information: | 14 | | (A) the expected volume of water, in kiloliters, | 15 | | needed to fulfill 100% of the anticipated water | 16 | | consumption needs of the data center over the course of | 17 | | 12 consecutive months; and | 18 | | (B) the data center's policy for sustainable water | 19 | | use and water conservation. | 20 | | (e) To maintain its certificate of exemption, a qualifying | 21 | | data center shall provide the following to the Department each | 22 | | calendar year by June 1: | 23 | | (1) An energy usage report that provides the following | 24 | | information: | 25 | | (A) the actual quantity of electrical energy, in | 26 | | kilowatt-hours, consumed annually by the qualifying |
| | | 10100HB3412ham001 | - 3 - | LRB101 08764 HLH 57768 a |
|
| 1 | | data center during the previous calendar year; | 2 | | (B) any alterations the qualifying data center | 3 | | proposes to undertake to improve the facility's | 4 | | electrical energy consumption; and | 5 | | (C) documentation of any energy efficiency | 6 | | upgrades that were completed on the facility. | 7 | | (2) A water resources report that provides the | 8 | | following information: | 9 | | (A) the actual volume of water, in kiloliters, | 10 | | consumed by the qualifying data center over the course | 11 | | of 12 consecutive months during the previous calendar | 12 | | year; and | 13 | | (B) any alterations the qualifying data center | 14 | | will undertake to improve the data center's water | 15 | | consumption. | 16 | | (f) Beginning 180 days after the effective date of this | 17 | | amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly, all qualifying | 18 | | data centers in the State shall meet or exceed the requirements | 19 | | in the ASHRAE Standard 90.4-2016. The Department may replace | 20 | | the ASHRAE Standard 90.4-2016 identified in this subsection by | 21 | | adopting rules consistent with the requirements of the Illinois | 22 | | Administrative Procedure Act. Whenever the provisions of any | 23 | | energy efficiency standard imposed or adopted by the Department | 24 | | are revised by the standard publishing body, including, but not | 25 | | limited to, ASHRAE, the Department shall, not later than 12 | 26 | | months after the date of such revision, publish a notice of |
| | | 10100HB3412ham001 | - 4 - | LRB101 08764 HLH 57768 a |
|
| 1 | | determination of whether such revision will improve energy | 2 | | efficiency in data centers in Illinois. If the Department | 3 | | publishes an affirmative determination, then, not later than 6 | 4 | | months after the determination, the Department shall, by rule, | 5 | | adopt the revised energy efficiency standard for qualifying | 6 | | data centers and immediately notify all qualifying data centers | 7 | | in the State. Existing qualifying data centers shall be subject | 8 | | to the revised energy efficiency standard within 24 months | 9 | | after the Department adopts the revised standard. The | 10 | | Department shall provide data centers with technical | 11 | | assistance concerning implementation of the energy efficiency | 12 | | standard under this Section. The Department shall determine | 13 | | procedures for compliance with the energy efficiency standard. | 14 | | These procedures may include, but need not be limited to, | 15 | | certification by a national, State, or local accredited energy | 16 | | conservation program or inspections from private certified | 17 | | inspectors using the ASHRAE Standard 90.4-2016. | 18 | | (g) A qualifying data center shall ensure that renewable | 19 | | energy sources fulfill 100% of the facility's electrical energy | 20 | | consumption. A qualifying data center shall do so through one | 21 | | or more of the following: | 22 | | (1) on-site renewable generation; | 23 | | (2) renewable energy credits purchased by the | 24 | | facility; | 25 | | (3) subscription in a renewable energy program by the | 26 | | provider of electricity to the qualifying facility; or |
