Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026)
AI Generated Summary
This bill proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 216B.2402, subdivision 3a, to exempt cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence (AI) data centers from certain energy savings goals. It revises the definition of a "data mining facility" to include buildings, structures, equipment, and installations at a single site that primarily use electricity for processing transactions involving digital currencies, such as cryptocurrency and AI-related computing. If enacted, this would reduce energy efficiency requirements for facilities engaged in these activities.
