What does moratorium mean for future of Kenwood data center in Albany?

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul enacted a one-year moratorium on new hyperscale data centers, prompting questions about its impact on proposed projects like the Kenwood data center in Albany. Local groups are actively opposing the Kenwood project and advocating for a citywide ban, citing concerns over noise and utility costs. The moratorium includes exemptions for data centers using less than 50 megawatts or serving healthcare facilities, leaving the Kenwood project's status uncertain.
