"The Energy Information Agency told two U.S. Senators that it plans to require data centers to disclose details about their energy use, according to Wired."

"The agency has not yet set a date for when it will implement the new questionnaire, but it announced in March that it would conduct a pilot survey of 196 companies."

"EIA chief Tristan Abbey expects the two pilot surveys to be complete in September, at which point it will begin developing the mandatory survey that will cover data centers nationwide."

The Energy Information Agency plans to mandate data centers to disclose their energy consumption details. This decision follows a request from Senators Josh Hawley and Elizabeth Warren for data on the industry's growing energy demands. A nationwide survey will be implemented, although a specific date has not been announced. Earlier, the EIA conducted pilot surveys in Texas, Washington state, and the D.C.-Northern Virginia area, with completion expected in September, after which the mandatory survey will be developed.
