"Gov. Kathy Hochul signed an executive order on Tuesday establishing a temporary moratorium on certain new data centers that consume 50 megawatts or more of power. The move makes New York the first state in the country to impose a statewide moratorium on large data center projects."
"It applies to both new data centers and expansions of existing ones."
"The moratorium will remain in effect until the Department of Public Service completes a review of the environmental impacts data center construction and operation in the state."
