Reno City Council to hold meeting on data center regulations
The Reno City Council is scheduled to hold a meeting to discuss a data center regulation amendment and potentially extend a moratorium on data center development until the end of the year. Public comments on the original moratorium highlighted significant concerns over water and power usage.
The Reno City Council is preparing to convene to deliberate on a proposed amendment to data center regulations. This meeting will also address the possibility of extending a previously enacted moratorium on data center development, which was initially put in place in May, until the close of the current year.
The initial public comment period for the moratorium saw three hours of discussion, primarily centered on concerns regarding the substantial water and power demands of data centers, reflecting ongoing public opposition and environmental considerations.
