Eli Lilly's $5 billion pharmaceutical plant in Goochland, VA, has been delayed due to the lack of sufficient electricity. Dominion Energy is seeking approval from the State Corporation Commission for an $87 million transmission line and substation project to power the facility, with the decision also impacting potential future data center developments in the area. The proposed routes are facing opposition from a developer, Asgard Broad Street Properties I LLC, whose mixed-use project would be adversely impacted.

Indianapolis councilors warn LEAP water deal threatens Eagle Creek

Twenty-one Indianapolis City-County councilors are warning against a deal that would send up to 25 million gallons of water daily from Indianapolis's Eagle Creek Reservoir to the LEAP industrial park in Boone County, which houses a Meta data center. They cite serious environmental risks to Eagle Creek and its wildlife, as treated industrial wastewater from the LEAP site is planned to be discharged back into the reservoir. Residents and state lawmakers also oppose the plan.
