NY Bans New Data Centers
New York becomes the first state to impose a moratorium on new data centers, effective for up to a year. The move aims to restrict the development of new hyperscale data centers in the state.
New York has made history by becoming the first state to enact a statewide moratorium on new hyperscale data centers. This move, signed into effect by Governor Kathy Hochul, blocks new environmental permits for data centers for a period of up to one year. Additionally, a bill passed by the state legislature that could further restrict data center developments is awaiting the Governor's signature.
The moratorium marks a significant development in the state's approach to data center expansion.
As reported by The Verge AI, this decision could have implications for the growth of the tech industry in New York.
