New York Enacts Statewide Data Center Moratorium Affecting Rockland County Projects

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has enacted the nation's first statewide moratorium on permits for new hyperscale data centers consuming at least 50 megawatts of electricity. This order aims to allow the state to conduct an environmental review and address concerns about energy demand, water use, and other impacts. Locally, projects in Orangeburg, Rockland County, are affected, including a DataBank expansion that is undergoing an extensive environmental impact statement.

Data Center Moratorium Proposed in Orangetown

A moratorium on new data center construction is proposed in Orangetown, NY, drawing significant public support due to resident concerns about noise and environmental impact, especially regarding Databank's Phase 2 expansion. While the local moratorium is being drafted and would not apply to existing projects, a similar statewide bill awaits gubernatorial approval. Local officials are urging residents to voice their concerns at planning board meetings.
