Newly elected governors in several U.S. states have pledged to halt or pause the construction of data centers, affecting approximately 41% of the nation’s planned capacity. This development, reported by Cleanview, highlights a significant shift in policy that could impact states like Texas, Ohio, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, New York, and Oregon. Texas, in particular, is exposed with 88.4 GW of planned capacity potentially affected. The pledges were primarily made during election campaigns and target projects that have not yet commenced construction.
