From the meeting
HB591 stated that it is the policy of the Commonwealth to encourage responsible data center operations while supporting grid reliability, affordability, and renewable deployment. It would promote coordination on energy usage, interconnection timelines, demand response, energy storage and management systems, and automated technologies. It would also require data centers to report water and aggregated energy usage, sustainability measures, and grid support participation to state and federal agencies.
The bill was engrossed; fiscal impact remained indeterminate.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
