📅 - The federal Environmental Protection Agency released a draft of its report to Congress on data center power consumption this week, making it available on the group's data center energy efficiency site.
The report was produced as a result of a data center power consumption bill signed into law in December. The bill asked the EPA to conduct a six-month study of power consumption in the data center, laying out nine areas of focus, including the proliferation of servers in the federal government, how much energy they consume, the potential cost-savings of making them more efficient and how manufacturers could be encouraged to build energy-efficient equipment.
At the moment, the report is not fully complete. It does not contain an executive summary, and the organization is asking industry stakeholders to comment on the report before May 7. The EPA says it will integrate the comments into the final version of the report, which it intends to submit to Congress by the end of June.
