Support the POWER Act to Regulate Illinois Data Centers

To: Gov. Pritzker, Sen. Syverson, Rep. Sosnowski

From: A verified voter in Marengo, IL

May 25

Illinois needs stronger oversight of data centers, and the POWER Act is the vehicle to deliver it. These facilities consume enormous amounts of water and electricity, strain local infrastructure, and operate with almost no accountability to the communities they impact. Support the POWER Act now. This legislation would set binding standards for data center energy efficiency, water usage disclosure, and environmental impact reporting. Tax incentives for this industry should come with real conditions attached — not blank checks. Illinois residents deserve to know what these facilities are taking from our grid and our water supply, and we deserve enforceable consequences when operators fall short.
