New York lawmakers pass one-year ban on new data centers

New York could become the first state to pause new large data centers.

New York lawmakers passed a one-year moratorium on new large data centers, pending Governor Kathy Hochul’s decision. Supporters say the pause would give the state time to study impacts on energy prices, electricity, water, land use, and pollution. The bill also requires companies planning data centers with at least 20MW peak demand to fund public hearings, while business groups warn a blanket pause could hurt the state economy.
