✦AI Summary
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has enacted a one-year moratorium on new large-scale data center permits to study their environmental and energy impacts. The state is seeking to balance infrastructure growth with concerns over rising utility costs and resource depletion.
New hyperscale data centers can’t set up shop in New York for up to a year now that Governor Kathy Hochul (D) has signed the nation’s first statewide moratorium. But a bill passed by the state legislature that could restrict even more developments still awaits her signature.
