Data Center Capital Atlas Update: September 17, 2026

This data center capital atlas update records what changed in 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

• Statesville 180-day data center moratorium, City of Statesville (NC). Citywide pause on data center applications. No megawatt or dollar figure; previously approved data centers, including the Compass Data Center project on Stamey Farm Road approved the prior year, are not affected. Statesville City Council unanimously approved the second reading of a 180-day moratorium on data centers on 14 September 2026, and the moratorium took effect that day. It covers the acceptance, processing and approval of development applications for data centers and does not affect previously approved data centers. The original proposal called for 150 days and was lengthened to 180 days; council approved the first reading unanimously in August 2026. The pause gives staff time to review development regulations, which do not currently address data centers. (WBTV)
• Clarendon County data center moratorium (Project 59), Clarendon County (SC). Countywide pause. Project 59 in the county industrial park has no building and no confirmed operator; a Santee Electric Co-op proposal on co-op land would use closed-loop cooling. No megawatt or dollar figure disclosed. Clarendon County Council passed the third and final reading of a moratorium pausing future data center development unanimously, with no one opposed, at its meeting on 14 September 2026. Council said the measure closes existing loopholes before a new project can proceed and that research on data centers will continue during the pause. Council members said an outright ban would be discriminatory and is not planned. Public concern centered on Project 59 and a Santee Electric Co-op proposal, along with tourism, environmental and water-use impacts. The duration was not stated in the reporting. (WIS News 10)
• Lima 18-month data center and outside-water moratorium, City of Lima (OH). Citywide pause on new data center construction and on new requests for city-supplied water to developments in outside municipalities. The existing agreement to supply water to the Google data center under construction in American Township is not affected. No megawatt or dollar figure. Lima City Council approved an ordinance at its Monday meeting (14 September 2026) enacting an 18-month moratorium on data center construction in the city and on new requests for city-supplied water to developments in outside municipalities. The vote was 6-0 with one abstention (Third Ward Councilor Jesse Lowe) and one member absent. The city said the ordinance does not affect its agreement to supply water to the Google data center being developed in American Township. Development directors will evaluate standards on land use, setbacks, electric demand, community benefits and infrastructure costs, and the moratorium can end early if council adopts standards.

• Pioneer six-month moratorium (former AquaBounty site data center), Village of Pioneer (OH). Proposed 20 MW data center on property owned by AquaBounty Technologies near the Ohio-Indiana line. No dollar figure disclosed. Pioneer Village Council voted 6-0 on 14 September 2026 to adopt a six-month moratorium on data centers. Tom Cervenka of Cervenka Development Partners had told the planning commission he intended to buy the former AquaBounty Technologies property to build a 20 MW data center. The village will conduct studies during the pause, including a new electrical study, and council members said they did not want anything fast-tracked. (The Village Reporter)
• Richmond 45-day data center moratorium, City of Richmond (CA). Citywide pause; Richmond has no data centers and no pending data center applications. No megawatt or dollar figure.

• Gilroy 45-day data center moratorium, City of Gilroy (CA). Citywide pause. The Amazon data center under construction on a 56-acre site at 8050 Camino Arroyo is exempt; a second project at Highway 152 and Camino Arroyo was only at pre-application and would be subject to the pause. No megawatt or dollar figure. Gilroy City Council voted unanimously on 14 September 2026 to adopt a 45-day interim urgency ordinance barring the city from accepting, processing or approving applications and entitlements for new data centers. The moratorium expires 29 October 2026 unless renewed and can be extended to a total of two years under California Government Code Section 65858. It does not apply to the Amazon data center under construction on a 56-acre site at 8050 Camino Arroyo, approved in 2025 by the community development director. Staff will return with objective zoning, development and operational standards covering water, grid capacity, backup generator emissions and noise. (San Jose Spotlight)
• Marysville 12-month data center moratorium, City of Marysville (KS). Citywide pause on data center applications. No specific project, megawatt or dollar figure reported. Marysville City Council unanimously adopted a 12-month moratorium on data center development at its Monday meeting (14 September 2026). No applications for data center development will be accepted or processed during the moratorium. The pause gives the Planning Commission and city staff time to examine zoning changes and hear from residents and stakeholders.

The vote count was not published in the sources reviewed. (City of Woodburn)
• Loudoun County 12-month pause on legislative data center applications, Loudoun County (VA). County hosts 233 data centers. Pause would apply to new legislative data center and substation applications, not projects already in the pipeline. No megawatt or dollar figure. The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors voted 7-1-1 on 15 September 2026 directing staff to draft a resolution pausing data center applications for 12 months while new regulations are written. Supervisor Kristen Umstattd voted against and Supervisor Caleb Kershner abstained. As described, each application would be paused for one year from its submission date. Board Chair Phyllis Randall said the measure is not a ban or a moratorium. A separate vote is still required to adopt the resolution. Loudoun Now reported that staff will bring the resolution back in October 2026 for a final board decision, that County Attorney Leo Rogers advised a moratorium is not legal in Virginia so the measure relies on the 12-month review deadlines for legislative applications, that by-right applications (an estimated 18.2 million sq ft of data center space) are not affected, and that new data center regulations are expected to be completed in July 2027 (NBC4 Washington)
• Texas enforcement directive on data center water-use reporting, State of Texas (TX). Statewide. The Texas Water Development Board surveyed 329 data centers in 2025 and about 30% responded; 22.5% of 267 new facilities responded. No megawatt or dollar figure. Gov. Greg Abbott announced on 14 September 2026 that he directed the Texas Water Development Board to use its enforcement authority against data centers that fail to complete the state’s mandatory water use survey, both for past failures and future noncompliance. Existing law makes failure to respond a Class C misdemeanor, and the directive includes referring violations to county or district attorneys. Response rates were 32% of 22 surveyed data centers in 2023, 28% of 67 in 2024 and about 30% of 329 in 2025. Abbott asked the board for a compliance and enforcement update by 14 October 2026. (Texas Tribune)
• QLevr Carmen Avenue data center (moratorium carve-out), City of Inver Grove Heights (MN). 54,000-square-foot data center on Carmen Avenue East. Inver Grove Heights City Council voted 3-1 at its Monday meeting (14 September 2026) to exempt QLevr LLC’s proposed data center from the one-year citywide moratorium the council adopted 3-2 in June 2026. QLevr had sued the city in Dakota County District Court in July 2026 calling the moratorium unlawful, and its attorneys offered to dismiss the suit without damages if the project was carved out; the city attorney cited potential liability of at least $20 million against $1 million of insurance. The council is set to vote on the major site plan on 28 September 2026. The moratorium remains in place for all other data center projects. The underlying one-year citywide moratorium was approved 3-2 on 26 June 2026, after QLevr had threatened legal action if the project was put on hold. Residents also filed a petition with more than 700 signatures seeking an environmental assessment worksheet. (MPR News)
• Chillicothe moratorium repeal (Alignment Engine former paper mill data hall), City of Chillicothe (OH). Proposed data hall in the Chilpaco division of the former US Paper Mill site at Eastern Avenue and Canal Street. No project megawatt or dollar figure disclosed. Chillicothe City Council voted 8-1 on Monday 14 September 2026 to reconsider and strike down the 60-day data center moratorium it had adopted unanimously on 24 August 2026. Council members cited a newly surfaced city letter from earlier in 2026 telling the paper mill owner that the Unified Development Code did not prevent a data center on the property. The vote clears a hurdle for Alignment Engine’s proposed data hall, which the company says will not seek tax abatements or draw more power or water than the former mill. A companion report says a revised moratorium grandfathering the project and setting standards, including a 100 MW cap, will be redrafted and returned to council. (WCHI Easy 1350)
• Former Star Tribune printing facility data center (North Loop), City of Minneapolis (MN). Proposed 20 MW data center at the former Star Tribune Heritage Printing Facility.

The proposal drew heavy opposition from North Loop residents over environmental impacts and doubts about job creation. Minneapolis City Council had passed a six-month ban on data centers larger than 350,000 square feet in May 2026. The Star Tribune still owns the site. (MPR News)
• DC Rapids former paper mill data center, City of Wisconsin Rapids (WI). Redevelopment of the former paper mill site into a data center. No megawatt, acreage or dollar figure disclosed. The Wisconsin Rapids Plan Commission voted 7-0 on 16 September 2026 to recommend that the Common Council deny DC Rapids LLC’s conditional use and site review applications to redevelop the former paper mill site as a data center. Staff identified 33 shortcomings, including missing electric utility approval, employment and shift projections and construction traffic details. The recommendation goes to the Common Council, reported for 20 October 2026, and the company may reapply. The city is separately drafting a data center moratorium. This is a recommendation, not a final denial. (WSAW)
• Spring Valley Technology Park, Loudoun County (VA). 325 acres / 3.54M sq ft / 780 MW.

As of September 2026 the application awaits a final Board of Supervisors decision. (MLQ.ai)
• Nebius Oxmoor Valley data center, Jefferson County Circuit Court / City of Birmingham (AL). 80-acre site. Neighbors sued Nebius, Hoar Construction and the City of Birmingham, alleging the city issued permits for a hyperscale data center on land not zoned for that use. On 10 July 2026 Circuit Judge Javan Patton Crayton ruled the case can proceed without first going to the Zoning Board of Adjustment. On 14 August 2026 the judge granted the plaintiffs’ request to skip the preliminary injunction and go to the merits, with the next hearing set for 8 March 2027.

Separately, Plug Power and Stream amended their Gateway land sale on 9 July 2026, fixing the price at $142 million, allowing an interim land closing and extending the outside closing date to 31 March 2027 The Genesee County Economic Development Center board voted on 2 July 2026 to prepare resolutions approving the State Environmental Quality Review for the Stream data center, with a vote planned for a July special meeting ahead of a 3 August Alabama Planning Board meeting. GCEDC never called that meeting, the planning board meeting was canceled, and no approval vote appeared on the agendas for its late July meetings. Gov. Kathy Hochul signed an executive order on 14 July imposing a yearlong moratorium on new hyperscale data centers and has criticized GCEDC’s plan to provide Stream with $1.44 billion in subsidies The $6.3B and 250 MW figures are superseded. Stream’s revised application to the Genesee County EDC in March 2026 raised the Project Double Reed investment from $11.1 billion to $19.461 billion for a 500 MW, 2.2 million square foot, three-building facility and raised the requested tax abatements from $774 million to about $1.4 billion (The Daily News, 5 and 12 March 2026). The July 2025 lawsuit coverage described the earlier plan at 250 MW and 900,000 square feet. The Batavian still cited $19.46 billion with North and South campuses on 14 September 2026
• Sabey Decatur Township campus. moratorium, now moratorium. Metropolitan Development Commission approved the $4B Sabey project in March 2026; one of the three flashpoint projects behind Indianapolis’s moratorium debate. Indianapolis Metropolitan Development Commission approved about $240 million in tax breaks for Sabey’s $4 billion Decatur Township data center on 16 September 2026, with Commissioner Schumacher voting against. Community commitments reported include $29.8 million to $39.8 million of investment, aquatic center financing, $5 million for nearby roads, and $50,000 for The Arts Council of Indianapolis. The Metropolitan Development Commission had approved the 250 MW, 130-acre project’s variance 6-2 on 18 March 2026, and it is one of three previously approved projects exempt from the Marion County moratorium adopted 10 August 2026
• NorthMark / Valara computing center. other, now other. $2.8B conversion of a former Kohler kitchen/bath plant (also a longtime bitcoin-mining site) into a computing center. State regulators initially approved ~50MW; company sought to expand to 450MW (five 17MW plus six 54MW natural gas turbines, atop 24 existing 2MW generators). On 27 August 2026 the South Carolina Public Service Commission ruled unanimously, with Commissioner David Britt recused, that the Utility Facility Siting and Environmental Protection Act does not apply to NorthMark’s 457 MW on-site power station on Pine Street in Spartanburg because it generates power for internal use rather than export to the grid, and that only the Office of Regulatory Staff can enforce the Act. The Southern Environmental Law Center opposed the ruling On 27 August 2026 the South Carolina Public Service Commission ruled unanimously, with one commissioner recused, that the Utility Facility Siting and Environmental Protection Act does not apply to Valara’s on-site generation for the 457 MW Spartanburg facility because it will not export power to the grid, and that only the Office of Regulatory Staff can bring enforcement under the act. The Southern Environmental Law Center may seek reconsideration or appeal.
• Lex Pocatello data center. litigation, now litigation. Proposed at a former polysilicon plant site; Idaho Conservation League highlighted unprecedented cumulative energy use concerns, comparing water use to an 18-hole golf course or large alfalfa field. On Thursday 16 July 2026 the Pocatello City Council, acting in a quasi-judicial role, voted to affirm hearing examiner Kathleen Lewis’s June 2026 denial of a conditional use permit for Lex Developments’ AI data center at the former Hoku site. Councilman Dakota Bates cast the lone no vote, and Councilwoman Ann Swanson was absent.
• Google Botetourt County campus. litigation, now litigation. Western Virginia Water Authority stated it will not supply the 10-million-gallons/day Google sought; a FOIA lawsuit forced disclosure of secret water-use contracts (judge ordered release Nov 5, 2025), and the Water Authority is appealing to the Virginia Court of Appeals while a related water pipeline permit split the Planning Commission in August 2026. Botetourt County issued a land disturbance permit for the 312-acre Google site in the Botetourt Center at Greenfield, reported 30 August 2026, with night construction noise limits; DEQ environmental permits remain under review. In July 2026 Google announced air cooling for the first building
• Revity Energy business park and data center, Hanton City. blocked, now blocked. Revity Energy proposed a business park including a data center at Hanton City in March 2026. After public opposition, Smithfield’s planning board and town council voted to ban such development in early May 2026, the first municipal data center ban in Rhode Island. Single-sourced from a secondary account in the Charlestown reporting; the Smithfield record has not been confirmed from a Smithfield source. Developers Hanton City Investments LLC and ROK LLC are appealing the town administrative officer’s 11 June 2026 decision that their major land development application for the Smithfield Corporate Complex at 364 George Washington Highway was incomplete. The application was filed a day before the Town Council adopted a data center ban. The Zoning Board of Review hearing on the appeal, postponed from 2 September 2026, was rescheduled for 7 October 2026, according to a Town Council member
• Project Jupiter permitting stay (Oracle campus). court halt, now court halt. 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. Site work continued after the New Mexico Supreme Court order pausing the air quality permit process and the State Engineer water permit, with 2,105 construction workers on site as of 30 June 2026 per Oracle records reported by Searchlight New Mexico. On 8 September 2026 Oracle issued an RFP for 2 GW of new New Mexico renewable generation deliverable between 2027 and 2031, tied to 100% carbon-free matching for Project Jupiter by 2031, and offered up to $1 million for carbon capture research on the Bloom fuel cells
• Eastport data center moratorium (DeepGreen Western Passage). moratorium, now moratorium. 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. The city held a public hearing on citizen-initiated ordinances in September 2026 while residents sought intervenor status in the FERC preliminary permit proceeding for the DeepGreen project.
• Bow data center (former Merrimack Station site). other, now other. Governor Kelly Ayotte said on 2 September 2026 that she opposes the proposed Bow hyperscale data center and any data center in New Hampshire, and that she will include a multi-year moratorium in her next state budget proposal, which would not take effect before July 2027. She said an executive order could impose a ban sooner. State House Democrats separately announced plans to file 24-month moratorium legislation for the 2027 session. The project is at feasibility-study stage: Eversource Energy is conducting a study at Granite Shore Power’s request for a hyperscale data center tied to the Bow coal plant that ceased operating in 2025. No moratorium has been enacted and no formal application has been filed. FERC filings describe a preliminary Eversource study, requested by Merrimack Station owner Granite Shore Power, on the viability of connecting a 350 MW project to the grid, while an Eversource executive mentioned a developer considering a data center of up to 200 MW in Bow. On 2 September 2026 Gov. Kelly Ayotte said she opposes the potential Bow data center and plans to propose a statewide moratorium on data centers.
• CRG Festus campus litigation. litigation, now litigation. Wake Up Jeffco LLC, Sherman Doyle, Vernon Valish, Sharon Valish and Rozilyn Daniels filed suit on 8 April 2026 in St. Louis County Circuit Court against the City of Festus and CRG Acquisition LLC, seeking to stop the project by invalidating the city’s rezoning decisions and its development agreement. The suit followed the council’s 6-2 approval of the development agreement on 30 March 2026. Motions to dismiss had been filed and answered as of mid-June 2026, and as of 12 June 2026 no construction plans or permit requests had been submitted. The council separately voted 5-2 on 24 August 2026 to annex three additional parcels for the project. On 24 August 2026 the Festus City Council voted 5-2 to annex three more parcels totaling 6.55 acres along Hwy. 67 for the CRG data center project, which the Leader describes as a hyperscale data center on 361 acres that CRG, the data center development arm of Clayco, estimates will cost US$6 billion. The council approved a development agreement with CRG Acquisition on 30 March 2026, and CRG’s president hopes construction starts in November 2026. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports data center opponents were in Jefferson County court over whether a recall of four Festus officials should go before voters.
• Mona area data center approval process challenge. other, now under appeal. Residents of the Mona area are challenging how a proposed data center of roughly 3 million square feet, described in reporting as a $10 billion project and the largest in Juab County’s history, was approved with little public input. County commissioners did not approve the project themselves: planning officials cleared it through a zone change and a conditional use permit, and the public hearing on 15 April 2026 lasted about four minutes with only the county, the selling landowners and the developers present. Residents say they learned of the project only recently and are asking how the zone change was presented to the public and how the conditional use permit was approved, and are demanding a public hearing before any further decision rather than after it is final. No approval has been rescinded and no litigation is recorded here; this is a live challenge to the process. The capital figure is left blank because the $10 billion is a press characterization, not a disclosed commitment. On Tuesday 15 September 2026 the community group Mona Cares filed an appeal asking the Juab County Commission to overturn the conditional use permit, arguing the county did not give residents adequate and actual notice. Commission Chair Clint Painter said the county followed state notice requirements and warned that reversing the approval could expose the county to costly developer lawsuits. Appeals are normally due within 30 days; the group argues the August posting of the meeting minutes supports accepting it. Whether the commission will accept the appeal had not been decided.
• Springhill Township application bar and data center ordinances. moratorium, now moratorium. Springhill Township supervisors approved a resolution on 4 September 2026 prohibiting anyone from applying for a data center or power plant in the township until the next meeting, and tabled two ordinances regulating data centers and fossil fuel power plants to satisfy state notice requirements. The final vote was scheduled for 17 September 2026. As drafted, the ordinances would treat data centers and accompanying power plants as conditional uses in the heavy and light industrial districts, require data centers to sit 200 feet from property lines and 400 feet from occupied homes and power plants 500 feet and 1,500 feet respectively, and cap noise at 55 decibels by day and 45 at night measured at the nearest property line. The township began drafting the ordinances after being approached by Nadara.
• Burgin hyperscale campus annexation. restarted, now delayed. Burgin’s earlier attempt to annex more than 1,000 acres for a Panattoni Data Centers hyperscale campus was declared null and void. The city restarted the process in September 2026 with adjusted boundary lines, and the city council was scheduled to vote at a special meeting on 8 September 2026 to begin drafting a new annexation ordinance for the revised land. Residents opposing the project called for basic protections and third-party expertise during the drafting. At the 8 September 2026 special meeting, the council passed the first reading of an ordinance to rejoin the joint planning and zoning commission on Mayor Joseph Monroe’s tie-breaking vote. Council member Melinda Wofford then left the meeting, leaving the council without a quorum, so no vote was taken on the annexation measure. The zoning ordinance still needs a second reading, state review and a final council vote; the mayor said rejoining makes development harder but does not end the project. The Harrodsburg Herald reported on 17 September 2026 that the council had approved the data center annexation of 10 properties at a July special meeting but a later special meeting for second reading was canceled, and that the 8 September vote was only to have the city attorney draft a new annexation ordinance. The interlocal agreement to rejoin the Harrodsburg-Burgin-Mercer County Joint Planning and Zoning Commission still needs second readings by all three bodies and Kentucky Department of Local Government approval

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.
