Denver plans moratorium on new data centers

The city of Denver, Colorado is planning to impose a moratorium on new data center construction to review regulations around responsible land, energy, and water use, as well as zoning and affordability for ratepayers. The moratorium is expected to last several months and will not impact the existing CoreSite DE3 data center that is currently under construction. The city aims to position itself as an attractive, tech-savvy place to do business while also regulating the industry.
