Baltimore moves closer to pausing data center construction in the city
A bill proposing a one-year moratorium on data center construction in Baltimore has advanced from committee to the full City Council. Concerns include utility bills, climate impact, and strain on the electrical grid, while an investigation into a BGE transmission line project is also underway. Johns Hopkins University received a grant to move forward with a new data center project on its Bay View campus, which is exempt from the proposed moratorium.
