Springfield passes 6 month moratorium on data centers$

The Springfield City Commission enacted a six-month moratorium on new data centers larger than 25 megawatts, aiming to give the Ohio General Assembly time to establish statewide regulations. This decision follows months of resident advocacy concerning health, environmental impact, and significant energy and water use. The moratorium does not affect a 75 MW data center currently under construction by 5C Group and Crusoe Energy Systems.
