New York becomes first state to ban data centers

New York has enacted a statewide moratorium on new hyperscale data centers for up to one year to study environmental impacts and develop a Community Investment Framework. Governor Kathy Hochul emphasized the need to address concerns about utility bills, natural resources, and local support. The state will also develop a Generic Environmental Impact Statement and consider a Grid Acceleration Fund, while pursuing legislation to repeal sales tax exemptions.

Riley introduces bill to shield ratepayers from data center grid costs

Congressman Josh Riley introduced bipartisan federal legislation, the FAIR Data Act, to compel large data centers to pay for electric grid upgrades stemming from their demand, preventing these costs from being passed to ratepayers. The bill targets data centers using at least 75 megawatts and tasks state utility regulators with establishing consumer protections. This legislation is motivated by concerns over rising electricity rates and specific data center proposals in New York.
