About U.S. data-center policy & legislation
Data-center growth is increasingly shaped by law: where facilities can be sited, how they access power and water, what they pay in taxes, and how much they must disclose. datacenters.builtfor.ai tracks 4,257 relevant state and federal bills via LegiScan (CC BY 4.0), refreshed hourly, so the picture reflects the current legislative session rather than a stale snapshot.
Policy and power are tightly linked — utilities, ratepayer impacts, and interconnection rules drive many of these bills. Cross-reference with live grid demand and the facility map. Sourcing and our confidence model are in the methodology.
