New York becomes first US state to halt new data centre projects for one year
On Tuesday, New York implemented a moratorium on the construction of new data centres, marking the first time a US state has enforced a one-year statewide freeze on these facilities. Governor Kathy Hochul stated that she felt compelled to act because the expansion of data centres poses a risk to natural resources. The measure will effectively suspend the permit approval process for any data centre projects with a capacity exceeding 50-MW.
