01 What Happened
Executive Order 658 dell’8 settembre riguarda data center oltre 25 MW peak demand. Prima dei permessi statali servono conformità al framework e community benefits agreement. Il framework include water quantity, water quality, wastewater, stormwater e infrastrutture. È un permitting gate, non un divieto.
02 Key Takeaways
01 Soglia principale: oltre 25 MW.
02 Water availability e wastewater capacity sono esplicite.
03 Water planning entra in site selection e early permitting.
03 Why It Matters
Cooling demand, reclaimed-water quality e sewer chemistry possono diventare vincoli di sito. Water capacity diventa parte della site feasibility.
