The House companion to the data center water and energy reporting bill

H.R. 9825, introduced 22 July 2026 by Representative Underwood and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, carries the same long title as the Senate bill: to require data center operators to report data center energy and water use to states or to the EPA Administrator and the Secretaries of Energy and Agriculture.

  • H.R. 9825 was introduced in the House on 22 July 2026 and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce.
  • Its long title matches S. 4213: reports to states or to the EPA Administrator and the Secretaries of Energy and Agriculture on data center energy and water use.
  • Two chambers carrying the same text is a signal of intent, not of enactment; neither bill is law.

What it changes

For an operator, a utility or a community

An operator tracking federal exposure should watch both chambers rather than one, because a companion bill changes the odds of a text surviving into a larger package. A utility should read the pair as a sign that site level water reporting is being treated as a federal question. A community following a state bill can point to the federal text its own legislature is copying.
