Vermont Legislation on Data Center Regulations Moves Through Legislature
What happened
Laura Sibilia introduced legislation, H.727, to strengthen protections for Vermonters against large data center development in Vermont. This legislation is currently progressing through the Vermont Senate and House. Sibilia expressed disappointment over the governor's veto of H.727, which aimed to add specific requirements for data centers regarding electricity costs, water use, pollution, public reporting, and financial responsibility if a project failed.
