Florida Consumer Advocate Urges Regulators to Weigh Data Center Moratoriums

The Florida Consumer Advocate has called on utility regulators to consider local data center moratoriums as part of their review of Duke Energy's upcoming data center proposal. The regulators are set to hear Duke Energy's proposal on August 25. The advocate's request suggests a move to integrate local land-use and development pauses into statewide utility planning, potentially impacting future data center expansions by utility providers in Florida.
