City of Henderson considering moratorium on data centers
The City of Henderson, Nevada is set to consider a moratorium on new data center applications at an upcoming City Council meeting. This consideration comes as Nevada Energy projects data centers could account for 64% of the state's power demand by 2046.
The City of Henderson, Nevada, is scheduled to consider a moratorium on new data center applications during its upcoming City Council meeting. If approved, the moratorium would prevent the city from accepting new applications for data center construction for several months.
News 3 reporter Will Silverstein highlighted the existing Google data center in Henderson as a prominent example. The proposed moratorium is a direct response to concerns, particularly those raised by Nevada Energy, which projects that data centers could contribute to 64% of Nevada's total power demand by 2046. The vote on the moratorium is expected to take place on Tuesday.
