硅谷 San Jose 拟定数据中心统一标准草案：要求全清洁电力 冷却不用饮用水
位于加州圣克拉拉县的 San Jose 市政府10月9日发布「统一标准」（Uniform Standards）草案，对市内数据中心及其他大型能源用户提出16点框架要求，被市长 Matt Mahan 形容为全美最严格的标准之一。草案要求数据中心使用100%清洁或碳中和电力、不得以饮用水作冷却，并对备用发电机设限、要求进行环境监测。
配套的收费建议包括：按每平方英尺约4至5美元估算的可负担住房关联费，以及按每兆瓦约5万美元征收的一次性能源可靠性费。市府已就草案举行多场社区会议，最后一场定于10月15日；其后草案将送规划委员会，下月审议，市议会表决预计在12月。Mahan 在市府新闻稿中表示，作为硅谷的中心城市，San Jose 正引领全国规范支撑超级智能、互联网与数字世界的基础设施，同时确保居民分享本地创新带来的收益。

San Jose Drafts Uniform Standards for Data Centers: 100 Percent Clean Power and No Drinking Water for Cooling Proposed
SAN JOSE, California — The City of San Jose, in Santa Clara County, California, released a draft set of 'Uniform Standards' for data centers and other large energy users on October 9, a 16-point framework Mayor Matt Mahan has described as among the strictest in the country. The draft would require data centers to run on 100 percent clean or carbon-neutral power, bar the use of drinking water for cooling, limit backup generators and require environmental monitoring.
Related fee proposals include an affordable-housing linkage fee estimated at $4 to $5 per square foot and a one-time energy reliability fee of about $50,000 per megawatt. The city held a series of community meetings on the draft, with the final scheduled session on October 15; the standards then go to the Planning Commission next month, with a City Council vote expected in December. 'As the capital of Silicon Valley, San José is leading the nation in regulating the development of infrastructure that powers SI, the internet and our increasingly digital world,' Mahan said in the city's release.
