Maine Senate Passes Landmark Moratorium on High-Power Data Centers

The Maine Senate has passed LD 307, a bill imposing a moratorium on data centers requiring 20 megawatts or more of power, citing concerns over grid strain. This legislation now moves to Governor Janet Mills for a final decision, potentially freezing several large projects until November 2027. The move is seen as a potential national precedent amidst growing concerns over data center energy demands.

Vermont's Data Center Debate: Could Broad Definition Block Smaller, Innovative Projects Neighbors Are Embracing?

Vermont is considering a data center regulation bill (H.727) that would apply the same requirements to all data centers regardless of their technology or environmental footprint. This contrasts with the approach in Maine, where an amendment to LD 307 would pause construction of data centers above 20 megawatts until 2028 but includes provisions for waivers based on environmental performance. LiquidCool Solutions, which is planning a water-free data center at a former air force base in Maine, has requested such a waiver.

As Data Centers Look to Rural New England, Maine Considers a Moratorium

Maine is considering a statewide moratorium on data center development as local communities, such as Wiscasset, have pushed back on proposals due to concerns over electricity prices, grid reliability, and water usage. The state legislature is debating a bill that would establish a data center coordination council and potentially impose a moratorium on data centers over 20MW until 2028, though some lawmakers oppose it due to a proposed $300 million AI data center project in their district.
