Accelerating AI Infrastructure and Power Plant Construction for National Defense.

This Act accelerates the construction of large AI data centers and associated baseload power facilities (including coal and gas plants) by designating them as priority national defense projects. It mandates concurrent federal permitting with a two-year deadline and limits judicial review of these decisions. The law also provides financial assistance for these power plants and offers protection against new, stricter environmental regulations to ensure stable power supply for advanced technologies.
Key points
Federal agencies must accelerate permits for large AI data centers and their dedicated power sources (50MW+), completing the process within two years.
The President can exempt these critical projects from new, stricter environmental rules if necessary for national defense.
Owners of power facilities serving AI infrastructure are entitled to compensation if new federal regulations materially impair their operation.
Judicial review of project approvals is limited in time (60 days) and venue, making legal challenges more difficult.
