Duke Energy Florida Pushes Back on Considering Data Center Moratoriums

Duke Energy Florida is pushing back against calls for state regulators to include discussions about local data center moratoriums in their upcoming hearings. The utility contends that such local development pauses should not be a factor in statewide regulatory reviews.

This stance comes as various communities across the US, including some in Florida, consider or enact moratoriums on data center construction due to concerns over electricity grid strain, water usage, and local impacts.
