New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill unveiled a four‑point plan requiring data centers to pay for the electricity they use, report their energy and water consumption, fund grid upgrades to handle larger loads, and secure community development agreements that address noise and pollution, while ensuring union-wage jobs; a separate measure would mandate public biannual reporting of energy and water use.
