Release of data center water numbers a good step for transparency

The Columbus Dispatch successfully obtained data on data center water usage in central Ohio, revealing that 3% of the city's water, or 1.26 billion gallons, was consumed by data centers in the past year. This comes amid public concerns and calls for greater transparency regarding data center operations and tax incentives. Lawmakers recently reversed a state law (House Bill 184) that had restricted public access to economic development information.

Ohio officials approved a $42.3 million tax exemption for two Cologix data center projects in Delaware and Licking counties, days before Governor Mike DeWine announced a pause on new data center tax exemptions statewide. The pause, enacted by the Ohio Tax Credit Authority, comes amidst growing scrutiny over the high cost of these tax breaks and the environmental and electrical grid impacts of data centers. A special legislative committee is holding hearings on the issue.

Neighbors in Southern Colorado are expressing concerns over a proposed data center by RAIDEN on Garden of the Gods Road.
