QTS, Vantage Data Centers, Compass Datacenters, and Digital Realty made nonbinding pledges to disclose project power demand, water usage, and ownership.

· ComputeLabs Research · from the October 30, 2026 edition

Blackstone-owned QTS, Vantage Data Centers, Compass Datacenters, and Digital Realty pledged to provide local communities with information about project electricity demand, water consumption, and ownership structures. The supplied report identifies the companies as founding members of a new industry organization.

The four companies also said they would not require state and local governments to sign nondisclosure agreements. The report states that such agreements had prompted resident objections and demands for greater project transparency.

These are explicitly nonbinding commitments, not statutory disclosure requirements or enforceable project conditions described in the source. Participating executives said they wanted to establish an industry standard, but the supplied material does not document completed disclosures, compliance monitoring, or enforcement mechanisms.
