9月21日（路透社）—— 加州州长加文·纽森于周一签署了七项旨在监管快速发展的数据中心行业的法案，新增了电力成本、用水和地方监管方面的要求，此前各地社区正对人工智能相关开发热潮表示反对。

- 该法案要求数据中心披露电力使用、水资源消耗、土地使用和劳动力需求等信息，同时为地方社区提供更多信息以评估拟建项目。
- 这些措施旨在避免数据中心所需的新建发电和电网升级成本转嫁到其他纳税人身上。
- 纽森在一份声明中表示：“通过这些法律，我们将确保加州人掌握主动权——那些从数据中心获利的企业不会以牺牲我们的利益为代价。”
- 加州方面表示，该法案将要求数据中心遵守该州的能源采购要求，并有助于将新的清洁能源供应接入电网。
- 随着科技公司竞相扩大人工智能能力，全国范围内对数据中心对电力需求、水资源和当地基础设施的影响的担忧日益加剧，这些措施正是在此背景下出台的。
- 人工智能数据中心的快速扩张在加州和其他地区引发了抵制，居民和维权组织对这些设施相关的电费和污染表示担忧。
- 行业贸易组织数据中心联盟表示，其成员致力于负责任的发展，但同时警告这些措施可能会将项目推向其他州：“此类立法会带来极大的不确定性，并引入可能重复的监管要求，使得在加州开展业务对数据中心和其他行业而言不再具有吸引力，”该组织政府事务主管卡拉·邦德在一份声明中说道。“这些措施可能会进一步限制加州本已萎缩的市场的数据中心发展——这将把就业机会、清洁能源部署和税收收入推送到邻近各州。”

Sept 21 (Reuters) – California Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday signed seven bills aimed at regulating the fast-growing data center industry, imposing new requirements on electricity costs, water use and local oversight as communities push back against a surge in AI-linked development.

- The legislation requires data centers to disclose information about electricity use, water consumption, land use and workforce needs, while giving local communities more information to assess proposed projects.
- The measures are designed to prevent the cost of new power generation and grid upgrades needed for data centers from being shifted onto other ratepayers.
- “With these laws, we are ensuring that Californians remain in the driver’s seat — and that those profiting from data centers aren’t doing so at our expense,” Newsom said in a statement.bills
- California said the legislation will require data centers to comply with the state’s energy procurement requirements and help bring new clean-energy supplies onto the grid.
- The measures come amid growing concern nationwide over the impact of data centers on electricity demand, water resources and local infrastructure as technology companies race to expand artificial intelligence capabilities.
- The rapid expansion of AI data centers has sparked resistance in California and elsewhere, with residents and advocacy groups raising concerns about electricity bills and pollution associated with the facilities.
- The Data Center Coalition, an industry trade group, said its members were committed to responsible development but warned the measures could push projects to other states: “Legislation such as these create significant uncertainty and introduces potentially duplicative requirements that make doing business in California an unattractive proposition for data centers and other industries,” Khara Boender, a director of government affairs for the group, said in a statement. “These are likely to further limit data center development in California — an already declining market—which pushes job creation, clean energy deployment, and tax revenue to neighboring states.”
