Data Center Laws and Regulations Tracking by We Build Progress

We Build Progress maintains a continuously updated spreadsheet cataloging data center legislation and regulation across more than 30 U.S. states. Entries cover tax exemptions, water usage rules, energy efficiency mandates, zoning ordinances, renewable energy standards, reporting requirements, grid protection measures, large-load tariffs, crypto-specific regulation, grassroots organizing victories, and project rejections. Each record identifies the state, policy category, legislative status (enacted, proposed, or failed), and a narrative description of the measure. The tracker functions as a centralized reference for advocates, researchers, and policymakers monitoring the fast-moving regulatory landscape around data center development nationwide.
