Dix approves moratorium on data centers

The Village of Dix, Illinois, unanimously approved a 180-day moratorium on new data centers, solar farms, and warehouses to establish new zoning and land-use regulations. This decision followed strong public concern over potential data center development in Jefferson County, driven by rumors and an interconnection application submitted to Ameren by a developer affiliated with RWE. Residents voiced opposition regarding high energy and water usage, noise, and pollution.
