First Statewide Moratorium on New Hyperscale Data Centers Launched by Governor Kathy Hochul

Governor Hochul signed an Executive Order to create the nation’s first moratorium on new hyperscale data centers, establishing the strongest standards for data center development and creating a blueprint to support localities.

@whoisthis the criteria require legislation enacted after August 16, 2026. New York’s moratorium was imposed by executive order on July 14, so it does not qualify
