(e) The term ‘‘clean energy’’ or ‘‘clean energy generation resources’’ means generation resources that produce few or no emissions of carbon dioxide during operation, including when paired with clean storage technologies. This term includes geothermal, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, solar, wind, hydroelectric, hydrokinetic (including tidal, wave, and current), and marine energy; and carbon capture, utilization, and storage technologies (for which the carbon capture equipment meets the definition set forth in 26 C.F.R. 1.45Q–2(c)) that operate with fossil fuel generation resources, that achieve carbon dioxide capture rates of 90 percent or higher on an annual basis, and that permanently sequester the captured carbon dioxide. (f) The term ‘‘clean power’’ means electricity generated by the generation resources described in subsection (e) of this section. (g) The term ‘‘clean repowering’’ means the practice of siting new clean generation sources at a site with an existing point of interconnection and generation sources operating with fossil fuels, such that some output or capacity from existing generation sources is replaced by the new clean generation sources. (h) The term ‘‘critical electric infrastructure information’’ has the same meaning as set forth in 18 C.F.R. 388.113(c). (i) The term ‘‘data center’’ means a facility used to store, manage, process, and disseminate electronic information for a computer network, and it includes any facility that is composed of one or more permanent or semi-permanent structures, or that is a dedicated space within such structure, and operates persistently in a fixed location; that is used for the housing of information technology equipment, including servers, mainframe computers, high-performance computing devices, or data-storage devices; and that is actively used for the hosting of information and information systems that are accessed by other systems or by users on other devices. (j) The term ‘‘distributed energy resource’’ has the same meaning as set forth in 18 C.F.R. 35.28(b)(10). (k) The term ‘‘Federal Permitting Agencies’’ refers to the agency members of the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council (Permitting Council) established under section 41002 of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, 42 U.S.C. 4370m–1, as well as any other agency with authority to issue a Federal permit or approval required for the development or operation of AI infrastructure. (l) The term ‘‘Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program’’ refers to the program established to provide an approach for the adoption and use of cloud services by the Federal Government, as codified in 44 U.S.C. 3607–3616 (as enacted by the FedRAMP Authorization Act, section 5921 of Public Law 117–263). (m) The term ‘‘frontier AI data center’’ means an AI data center capable of being used to develop, within a reasonable time frame, an AI model with characteristics related either to performance or to the computational resources used in its development that approximately match or surpass the state of the art at the time of the AI model’s development. (n) The term ‘‘frontier AI infrastructure’’ means AI infrastructure for which the relevant data center is a frontier AI data center. (o) The term ‘‘frontier AI training’’ refers to the act of developing an AI model with characteristics related either to performance or to the computational resources used in its development that approximately match or surpass the state of the art at the time of the AI model’s development. (p) The term ‘‘generation resource’’ means a facility that produces electricity. |
