AB 1095: Data centers: waste heat energy.
What AB 1095 does, verified February 3, 2026
This bill aims to expand the California Renewables Portfolio Standard Program to include waste heat energy. Currently, the program requires utilities to procure a certain percentage of their electricity from renewable sources. The bill would make data centers generating waste heat eligible to receive renewable energy credits if the waste heat is used at the same facility, captured, and converted. Additionally, data centers using waste heat to provide heating for buildings would be eligible to receive credits based on the amount of energy usage avoided. The state energy resources conservation and development commission would develop a metric to determine the amount of credit awarded.
