Data Center Capital Atlas Update: August 29, 2026

This is a scheduled update to the North American Data Center Capital Atlas, SAVRN’s primary-sourced record of who is funding data center capacity in North America, in what structure, at which site, and how much of that capital has been stopped. The atlas is refreshed every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and each refresh publishes a note like this one recording exactly what changed.

Where the record stands

Announced capital across the tracked cohort is reported as disclosed and is never summed into a single deployment figure: site commitments overlap one another and overlap reported capital expenditure. Blocked-and-delayed totals from different trackers cover different windows and definitions and are shown side by side rather than added.

Capital at risk, added this period

• Calvert Technology Center (AWS), Calvert County (MD). about 2.4 million sq ft; reported ~500 MW. Amazon Data Services formally withdrew its Calvert Technology Center Conceptual Site Development Plan application on 4 August 2026, having submitted it in May 2026 for a campus near the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant at Lusby. The county confirmed Amazon has decided not to pursue the project. Amazon attributed the decision to development timelines, operational requirements and its ability to deliver for customers rather than to local opposition. The Board of County Commissioners held a hearing on 18 August 2026 on a temporary six-month moratorium on data center approvals. (Calvert County, MD)
• Project Jupiter permitting stay (Oracle campus), Doña Ana County (NM). MW and campus capital cost not disclosed. The New Mexico Supreme Court unanimously granted two stays reported 24 August 2026. It halted the New Mexico Environment Department air quality permit hearing set to open 14 September 2026 in Sunland Park on the campus’s on-site methane fuel-cell microgrid, and it ordered the Office of the State Engineer to pause emergency authorization of water from a newly constructed well used for construction. New Energy Economy petitioned on the air permit, arguing the department cannot hold a hearing before the project’s fuel source is established; the Center for Biological Diversity petitioned on the water authorization. The designated hearing officer withdrew from the case, and a replacement will be appointed after the stay is lifted. (Source New Mexico)
• Aligned Data Centers Pataskala campus, City of Pataskala (OH). 200 MW across three buildings; more than $5B of investment promised by the developer. Pataskala City Council voted at its 25 August 2026 meeting to accept the Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommendation and deny the site plan for a 200 MW, three-building campus. Council President Brandon Galik cited unresolved power questions and incomplete design. A citizen petition carrying more than 500 signatures places a potential data center ban before Pataskala voters at the November 2026 election. (ABC 6 Columbus)
• Durham County data center moratorium, Durham County (NC). scale n.a.. County commissioners voted 4-1 on 24 August 2026, after a public hearing at which 63 residents signed up to speak, to adopt a nine-month moratorium on new large-scale data centers running through May 2027 and aligned with the City of Durham’s parallel pause. The measure does not apply to facilities under 100,000 sq ft that use closed-loop cooling and no diesel backup generation. The dissenting vote came from a commissioner who judged the measure insufficient. (WUNC)
• Jackson Township data center ban (Ordinance 2026-25), Jackson Township, Ocean County (NJ). scale n.a.. The Township Council adopted Ordinance 2026-25 on final reading by a 4-1 vote on 25 August 2026, amending the township’s Land Use and Development Regulations to prohibit data centers. The ordinance was introduced 11 August 2026 and passed first reading 3-2. The sponsoring council member and supporting advocates cited grid load, water supply and proximity to the Pinelands National Reserve. A press release circulated by supporters describes Jackson as the 38th New Jersey municipality to adopt such a prohibition; that count is the advocates’ own and is not independently verified here. (Township of Jackson ordinance)
• Orangetown data center and battery storage moratorium, Town of Orangetown (NY). scale n.a.. The town board approved a six-month moratorium on applications for new data centers and battery energy storage systems, reported 25 August 2026. The town supervisor stated the moratorium does not apply to DataBank’s proposed expansion, which was already in the town’s environmental review. Residents raised emissions, water use and proximity to Lake Tappan. (News 12)
• Anniston data center moratorium, City of Anniston (AL). scale n.a.. The city council adopted a resolution on 18 August 2026 establishing a 12-month moratorium on data centers within the city’s regulatory jurisdiction, subject to extension or shortening by council. The Planning Commission must study and recommend standards for siting, electrical demand, water consumption, stormwater, noise and neighborhood compatibility within six months. The resolution cites the growth of US data center electricity consumption from 58 TWh in 2014 to 176 TWh in 2023. (WBRC)
• Palm Springs data center moratorium, City of Palm Springs (CA). scale n.a.. The city council voted unanimously on 26 August 2026 to adopt a 45-day moratorium on large-scale data centers, in effect through 10 October 2026, to study impacts before deciding whether further regulation is needed. Council members referenced the possibility of a longer comprehensive zoning process. Residents raised water use, electricity demand and the supplemental cooling required in a desert climate. (KESQ)
• Garfield Township data center and crypto mining moratorium, Garfield Township, Grand Traverse County (MI). scale n.a.. Township trustees voted unanimously on 25 August 2026 to impose a one-year moratorium on data centers and cryptocurrency mining facilities, with an option to extend six months for a maximum of 18 months, while the township updates its zoning ordinance. The moratorium places on hold a small-scale data center proposed on Sybrandt Road. The township board chair stated that no data center regulations have yet been drafted and that the measure was written with legal counsel to be defensible after other Michigan communities saw restrictions challenged in court. (9&10 News)
• Westover data center moratorium, City of Westover, Shelby County (AL). proposed site of nearly 450 acres along Highway 280 and Cheshire Drive, with at least two buildings on 124 acres; no MW or dollar figure disclosed. The city council voted unanimously on 18 August 2026 to adopt a six-month moratorium on data centers while it studies the industry and considers zoning changes. The pause follows a proposal by Swift Willow Property for a campus of nearly 450 acres along Highway 280 and Cheshire Drive, with at least two buildings on 124 acres. The city held a town hall on 20 August 2026 with the developer, Shelby County Water Services and Alabama Power. (WBRC)
• Bellevue data center moratorium, Village of Bellevue, Brown County (WI). scale n.a.. The village board voted 5-0 on 12 August 2026 to amend chapter 500 of the village zoning code and block development or construction of data centers for 12 months, expiring in August 2027, to give trustees time to review effects on public health, land use, environmental constraints and general welfare. (WTAQ)
• Eastport data center moratorium (DeepGreen Western Passage), City of Eastport (ME). subsea data center; capacity and capital cost not disclosed. City councilors unanimously adopted a 180-day moratorium on 12 August 2026 barring approval of any permit, license or application for industrial data centers or computing facilities and associated infrastructure, on land or underwater. On 27 August 2026 the Planning Board unanimously recommended that the city adopt a permanent ban. The measures respond to DeepGreen Western Passage’s February 2026 application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for a preliminary permit to study a tidal-powered subsea data center in Passamaquoddy Bay; federal regulators accepted that application in the week after the moratorium took effect. A separate citizen petition from the Eastport Coalition for Healthy Oceans seeks an ordinance prohibiting data centers larger than 25,000 sq ft in the city and its coastal waters. (Maine Public)
• Harrington conditional-use ordinance rejection, City of Harrington, Kent County (DE). 24 MW proposed facility at the former Harrington Logistics building. City council members voted unanimously on 17 August 2026 to reject an ordinance that would have added data centers as a conditional use in the city’s manufacturing zone. Without the amendment, data centers cannot be built in Harrington, including a proposed 24 MW facility at the former Harrington Logistics building. Residents cited water, sewer and electrical infrastructure capacity and noise. Reporting notes the developer had offered the city $1 million. (Delaware Public Media)
• Volusia County large-scale data center prohibition, Volusia County (FL). applies to facilities expected to use at least 50 MW at peak monthly demand, per Florida law. The county council voted unanimously on 17 August 2026 to direct staff to draft an ordinance prohibiting large-scale data centers on land under county jurisdiction, choosing an outright prohibition over a proposed six-month moratorium. The prohibition would apply only to unincorporated Volusia County; incorporated cities retain their own authority. The county states that new applications for large-scale data centers will not be accepted in unincorporated areas while the ordinance moves through the Planning and Land Development Regulation Commission and two council public hearings. Under Florida law a large-scale data center is one expected to use at least 50 MW at peak monthly demand. (Observer Local News)
• Cherokee Nation hyperscale data center ban, Cherokee Nation Reservation (tribal and trust land) (OK). covers roughly 46,000 acres of restricted land, more than 62,000 acres of tribal trust land and more than 5,100 acres of tribal fee land within a 7,000 sq mi reservation. Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. announced on 10 August 2026 that the Cherokee Nation is barring hyperscale data center development on tribally owned and trust land, following the report of the Principal Chief’s Task Force on Data Centers. The task force surveyed nearly 1,600 citizens, of whom 64% opposed hyperscale data centers on the reservation and 14% favored them. For non-tribal land within the reservation, the Nation stated it will not support projects absent consultation with the tribal government and citizenry addressing cultural and natural resource concerns and including community engagement. (KGOU)
• Wrightstown advisory referendum on data center support, Village of Wrightstown, Brown County (WI). scale n.a.. Village voters rejected an advisory referendum on 11 August 2026 asking whether the village should support or help build municipal infrastructure for large-scale data center development in or near the community. The result was 1,033 to 151 against, about 87%. The referendum is advisory and non-binding, and the village board is not required to act on it. The village board placed it on the ballot after residents raised concerns about the Cloverleaf project. The trade association NetChoice sought to keep the question off the ballot, arguing it violated state law. (WBAY)

How to read this

Every figure in the atlas links to the page that states it. Where a value could not be confirmed from a fetched source, the entry reads n.a. rather than an estimate, and roughly two-thirds of the capital-at-risk rows carry either a dollar figure or a megawatt figure but not both, because local rezoning dockets disclose acreage and square footage while investment figures come from economic-development announcements that a withdrawn project never makes. The dollar total of the rows that do disclose a figure is therefore a floor, not a census.

The atlas sits alongside two companion references: the Nationwide Data Center Delay Watchlist, which tracks project-level slippage, queues, and securities filings, and the U.S. Data Center Moratorium Tracker, which maps state and local policy measures. All citations behind this atlas are listed on one page.
