- New York state gets one step closer to a data center moratorium
New York's legislature passed a one-year moratorium on data center permits, requiring public hearings and an environmental impact report for facilities using over 20 megawatts of energy. Governor Kathy Hochul has not yet decided on the bill but has expressed support for local control over such projects. The bill faces opposition from industry groups and business leaders who argue it could harm economic development.
