This data center capital atlas update records what changed in the [North American Data Center Capital Atlas](/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

| Measure | Previous | Current | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Capital providers | 98 | 98 | no change |
| Named sites | 369 | 390 | up 21 |
| Financing transactions | 478 | 491 | up 13 |
| Blocked or delayed projects | 807 | 828 | up 21 |
| Source citations | 4,545 | 4,699 | up 154 |
| States with a blocked or delayed project | 49 | 49 | no change |

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

- **Google Project Cannoli county tax incentives and community benefits agreement (Van Buren Township)**, Wayne County Executive (MI). 282-acre campus, about 1 GW; $125 million in township tax incentives approved in late May 2026. On 25 September 2026 Wayne County Executive Warren Evans vetoed the tax incentives and community benefits agreement the Wayne County Commission had approved for Google's Project Cannoli data center, saying Google pressed the county to act within about two weeks and the process did not allow public input or independent analysis. The veto covers the county incentive and benefits package, not the project itself. Commission Chair Alisha Bell called the package lucrative and said the commission would take it up again the following week. The township's final site plan vote is expected 14 October 2026. ([The Detroit News (via MSN), 25 September 2026](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/wayne-co-exec-vetoes-van-buren-twps-125m-data-center-tax-break/ar-AA2cZlzV))
- **AWS Hobart data center campus (Hobart Tech Park and Ewen Farm) fill permit lawsuit**, Lake Superior Court (suit against the Hobart Plan Commission and Common Council) (IN). 723-acre site: the 555-acre Hobart Tech Park parcel owned by AWS and the 168-acre Ewen Farm parcel to be leased by AWS; no dollar or MW figure in the fetched coverage. Four Eagle Creek subdivision residents have sued the Hobart Plan Commission and Common Council in Lake Superior Court seeking a preliminary injunction to nullify the fill permit the Plan Commission approved, without findings of fact, for mass grading of the AWS site, aiming to restart the plat and site plan approval process. The city has moved to dismiss; a possible ruling on 22 September 2026 slipped when a plaintiffs' attorney could not appear, and an attorney conference was set for 30 September 2026. Grading continues meanwhile; the Plan Commission granted preliminary plat approval in May and tabled final plat approval on 4 September 2026.

- **Janesville 12-month data center moratorium**, Janesville City Council (WI). Citywide 12-month pause on data center applications; the debate began over the former GM/JATCO site, where the council earlier declined to extend a letter of intent with hyperscale developer Viridian Partners. The Janesville City Council voted unanimously on Monday 28 September 2026 to approve a 12-month moratorium on data centers. The ordinance bars the city from accepting, processing, reviewing or approving data center applications, including rezoning requests, permits and annexation actions, while officials work on zoning and regulatory changes. Before the final vote the council removed recitals that referred specifically to the GM/JATCO site and the November referendum on that site, so the pause applies citywide.

- **Crestview large-scale data center ban (Ordinance 2033)**, Crestview City Council (FL). Citywide prohibition of large load centers in all land use categories; no data center had been proposed in the city. The Crestview City Council voted unanimously on Monday 28 September 2026 to ban large-scale data centers within city limits, adopting Ordinance 2033 on second reading after a public hearing. The ordinance removes large load centers from all land use categories in the city; it does not affect projects proposed just outside the city. Mayor JB Whitten described it as precautionary and said a later council vote could revisit it. Okaloosa County voted on 15 September 2026 to regulate rather than ban data centers.

- **Lovejoy citywide data center ban**, Lovejoy City Council (GA). Citywide prohibition; follows the withdrawn Stillwater Development Panhandle Road proposal (3.5 million sq ft, 15 buildings, 1.25 GW at full build-out). The City of Lovejoy approved an ordinance on Monday 28 September 2026 banning data center construction within city limits. The ordinance prohibits data centers, repeals an article governing special administrative permits and sets standards for high-density housing. It follows the fight over Stillwater Development's Panhandle Road campus near two schools, which the developer withdrew in August 2026 in favor of a residential plan. Lovejoy is not covered by Clayton County's moratorium. ([Atlanta News First](https://www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2026/09/29/city-lovejoy-passes-ordinance-banning-data-center-construction/))
- **Saco temporary data center moratorium**, Saco City Council (ME). Citywide temporary moratorium; no project named. Saco enacted a 61-day data center moratorium in August 2026 to give staff time to write data center rules into the city code. On Monday 28 September 2026 the City Council voted to extend it by 60 days, to 28 November 2026. The city administrator said the city will likely keep extending it until the Maine Data Center Advisory Task Force reports in December.

- **Wilderness Crossing mixed-use and data center rezoning**, Orange County Board of Supervisors; Orange County Circuit Court (VA). About 2,600 acres; up to 5,000 homes plus large-scale data centers; no MW or dollar figure disclosed. The Orange County Board of Supervisors approved the Wilderness Crossing rezoning in 2023, and the American Battlefield Trust, Central Virginia Battlefield Trust, Friends of Wilderness Battlefield and nearby homeowners sued the county that year. The Orange County Circuit Court partially denied the county's motion to dismiss in September 2025, letting parts of the case proceed. On Tuesday 29 September 2026 the board voted 5-0 to adopt a resolution acknowledging that ZA 18-05, the 2018 text amendment creating the Planned Development-Mixed Use district that the project relies on, was not initiated as Virginia Code 15.2-2286(A)(7) requires; the county said the resolution does not repeal the district or decide the validity of later land use actions, which remain before the court.

- **Amazon Richmond County data center diesel generator air permits challenge**, North Carolina Office of Administrative Hearings (appeal of NC DEQ air permits) (NC). $10 billion Amazon hyperscale campus next to Duke Energy's gas plant; permits cover 588 Amazon backup diesel generators and 57 Duke temporary diesel generators. NC DEQ issued two air quality permits on 28 August 2026: one to Amazon for 588 backup diesel generators and one to Duke Energy for 57 generators to power the data center temporarily until it is connected to the grid. The Southern Environmental Law Center, on behalf of the Richmond County Coalition for Justice and Black Empowerment, then filed two petitions with the North Carolina Office of Administrative Hearings asking that both permits be revoked, arguing that splitting the roughly 645 generators into two permits evades Clean Air Act requirements; SELC cites a Duke and Amazon contract giving Amazon some control over when Duke's generators run. DEQ has said the permits serve different purposes on different time horizons and belong to different companies.

- **Port Huron Township data center moratorium**, Port Huron Township Board (MI). Townwide pause on new applications for data centers and other high-demand power users; no applications on file. The Port Huron Township Board unanimously passed a temporary moratorium blocking new applications for data centers and other high-demand power users while it writes rules on noise, lighting and safety. Officials said no applications are on file. The pause lasts up to 12 months or until permanent zoning rules take effect, and the board may extend it. ([WGRT](https://wgrt.com/township-hits-pause-button-on-data-center-boom/))
- **Sterling 180-day data center and battery storage application moratorium**, Sterling City Council (IL). Citywide 180-day moratorium on processing and approving applications for data centers and battery energy storage systems; no data center request received. The Sterling City Council voted unanimously on 7 September 2026 to impose a 180-day moratorium on processing and approving applications for data centers and battery energy storage systems while the Plan Commission drafts rules. City officials said Sterling, a non-home-rule municipality, cannot permanently ban a lawful business, and that it has had inquiries from battery storage companies but none from data center developers.

- **Mesa County 12-month data center moratorium (unincorporated areas)**, Mesa County Board of County Commissioners (CO). Countywide in unincorporated Mesa County; no project named. The county says it has no pending data center applications. Mesa County commissioners unanimously approved a 12-month moratorium at a public hearing on 29 September 2026, pausing the acceptance, processing and approval of land use applications for data center facilities in unincorporated Mesa County, effective immediately. The county says data centers are not addressed in its land use code, last updated in 2020, and the pause gives staff time to finish the land development code update and gather public input on data center regulation. The county has no pending data center applications. ([Mesa County](https://www.mesacounty.us/news/county-wide/commissioners-approve-data-center-moratorium))
- **Cedar Creek data center and gas plant campus (Pacifico Energy and BlackChamber Partners; Anthropic in lease talks)**, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (statewide data center permit pause) (TX). 2,842-acre site; 710 MW site-rated on-site gas turbines supporting 490 MW of data center load (public documents per the site record). Pacifico proposes investing about $2.24 billion in the power facility per its Texas Comptroller JETI application (Community Impact, 15 July 2026); the data center investment is not disclosed. The San Antonio Current's '$2.2 billion hyperscale campus' refers to this power facility figure. TCEQ Air Permits Division director Samuel Short told Bastrop County residents by email, as reported by the San Antonio Current on 29 September 2026, that the Pacifico project is on hold because TCEQ has paused all air and water permits and authorizations for infrastructure directly supporting data centers under Governor Abbott's 21 September 2026 directive (row 769). The campus's on-site gas plant air permit was pending. The pause runs until the ERCOT and Texas Water Development Board audits are complete, with a TCEQ compliance update due 19 October 2026. Anthropic is reported to be in lease talks for the campus; no lease has been finalized.

- **Project Open Sky data center (Cloverleaf Infrastructure)**, City of Piedmont (OK). About 633 acres off Richland Road requiring annexation and rezoning; the developer later secured options on additional land in neighboring Kingfisher County. No MW or dollar figure in the fetched sources. On Monday 28 September 2026 the Piedmont City Council postponed its decision on the rezoning for Cloverleaf Infrastructure's Project Open Sky for the fifth time in nearly five months, after Mayor Kurt Mayabb broke a 2-2 tie to continue the item because a council member was absent. The council had also delayed the vote two weeks earlier. Cloverleaf has expanded its offer of voluntary buyouts to homeowners within a quarter mile of the site, up from 500 feet, amid opposition from nearby residents. KOCO reports the council will revisit the zoning at its next meeting on 26 October 2026.

- **Serverfarm Clarksville data center bond ordinances referendum**, City of Clarksville / Clarksville voters (AR). $6.6 billion Serverfarm campus off Arkansas Highway 123 near Johnson Regional Medical Center; bond ordinances authorize up to $55 billion of taxable industrial revenue bonds (up to $50 billion to Hatchbo LLC, up to $5 billion to SF ARK1 LLC), an authorization ceiling, not project capex. On Monday 28 September 2026 the Clarksville City Council, at a special meeting, unanimously called a special election on the two July 2026 bond ordinances for Serverfarm's data center after referendum petitions against each ordinance were certified with enough valid signatures (352 and 354 accepted of 425 submitted each). Voters will decide whether to approve or reject the ordinances, which carry a 65% property tax abatement structure; the vote is not directly on whether the data center can be built. Serverfarm said construction will continue during the referendum process.

- **Centre Wellington one-year interim control by-law on data centres**, Township of Centre Wellington (Ontario). Township-wide in lands zoned Industrial (M1), General Industrial (M2) and Industrial Business Park (M2.BP). Spur Innovation has pitched a data centre campus (10 MW first phase per the Wellington Advertiser) on the former Wolverine Tube site in Fergus but has filed no formal plan with the township. Centre Wellington council approved an interim control by-law on 28 September 2026 temporarily prohibiting new data centres in the M1, M2 and M2.BP industrial zones for one year from that date, with a possible extension of up to one more year. The township will complete a planning study on grid, water and land-use impacts and expects to report back in the third quarter of 2027.

- **Amazon west Shreveport data center special-use permit (appeal)**, Louisiana Second Circuit Court of Appeal / City of Shreveport (LA). Site zoned I-1 light industrial within 200 feet of residential zoning; records cited by opponents show water use of up to 7.5 million gallons a day. No MW or dollar figure given in the fetched coverage. On Tuesday 29 September 2026 the Louisiana Second Circuit Court of Appeal heard opponents' challenge to the Shreveport City Council's unanimous approval of a special-use permit for an Amazon data center in west Shreveport, which the Metropolitan Planning Commission had initially denied. Opponents' attorney Clay Garside argued the council approved the permit without a detailed operational plan on noise, light and water impacts or a Louisiana DEQ water withdrawal permit; the city argued the application met requirements. The judges did not rule at the hearing.

- **Bangor data center moratorium**, Bangor City Council (ME). Citywide ban on data center construction; staff proposed it after a Kratos AI developer approached the city in March 2026 about a possible data center; no MW or dollar figure disclosed. The Bangor City Council first approved a 180-day data center moratorium in April 2026, fast-tracked after a developer with San Francisco-based Kratos AI approached the city in March about building a data center. On Monday 28 September 2026 the council voted 8-0 to extend the moratorium by another 180 days so staff and consultants can draft zoning rules on infrastructure, environmental and neighbor impacts.

- **Leominster one-year data center moratorium**, Leominster City Council (MA). Citywide; no data center proposal on file. A companion battery storage moratorium exempts two storage projects already underway. The Leominster City Council voted 8-0 on Monday 28 September 2026 to approve a one-year moratorium on developing data centers, together with a separate moratorium on battery energy storage sites; both are in effect until 31 July 2027. Council President Claire Freda, who introduced them, said the pause gives the city time to study impacts and prepare rules before any proposal arrives.

- **Saginaw data center moratorium**, Saginaw City Council (MI). Citywide; no data centers in development in the city. The Saginaw City Council approved a moratorium on data center development spanning all of 2026 in January 2026 and directed staff to draft regulations. On Monday 28 September 2026 the council unanimously approved the resulting ordinance, which makes data centers special land uses in light and general industrial districts, requires reports on water, wastewater, energy and noise, sets 500-foot residential setbacks and a 55-decibel limit near homes, and takes effect 9 October 2026. The moratorium remains in place through the end of 2026. ([MLive](https://www.mlive.com/news/2026/09/saginaw-council-approves-data-center-ordinance-after-months-of-planning.html))
- **Oregon charter amendment capping data centers at 25 MW (Vantage Data Centers project)**, City of Oregon voters (3 November 2026 ballot); Oregon City Council (OH). About 213.8 acres for two or three data center buildings; first building expected to cost about $1.1 billion per the draft economic development agreement (WTOL); no MW figure disclosed. United Neighbors of Oregon gathered enough signatures to place a citizen-led charter amendment limiting data centers to 25 MW on the 3 November 2026 ballot, and the city council voted unanimously in August 2026 to accept the board of elections' certification. Vantage Data Centers, confirmed as the prospective developer, presented its draft economic development agreement to council on Monday 28 September 2026, asking for approval by 26 October; the draft offers a 15-year, 100% property tax abatement with payments in lieu of taxes capped at $14 million a year per building. Mayor Steven Salander said at the meeting that he will not approve any timeline until residents vote.

- **Metered Mining (Metered North) data center conditional use permit, Village of Hammond**, Village of Hammond Village Board v. Village Board of Appeals (circuit court certiorari) (WI). Small-scale data center in the village industrial park next to the U.S. Army Reserve Center; no MW or dollar figure disclosed. The Hammond Village Board voted 5-0 to deny a conditional use permit for Metered Mining's data center, but the village Board of Appeals approved the permit with conditions on 8 June 2026. The village board then hired new counsel and filed a writ of certiorari in circuit court contesting its own appeals board's decision. Metered Mining intervened and has moved to strike letters from state Rep. Rob Kreibich, a village trustee and residents from the record, arguing review is limited to the appeals board record. St. Croix County's 12-month moratorium does not reach the village.

- **Black Bear power plant and data centre campus** (About 19 km south of Swan Hills, Alberta). 466 MW, proposed. Teton Digital is developing the Black Bear Power Project, a 466 MW natural gas combined-cycle plant about 19 km south of Swan Hills and about 200 km northwest of Edmonton, together with about 1,500 acres of adjacent Crown land for data centre use. The plant was first proposed in 2024 by Kiwetinohk Energy. Teton says data centre operations could begin as early as 2027 on grid power before the plant is complete, and that the site could eventually support about 3 GW. Alberta Major Projects lists the plant as proposed with 2028 completion. ([Daily Hive, 23 September 2026](https://dailyhive.com/edmonton/power-plant-data-centre-swan-hills))
- **Project Beehive nuclear-powered data center campus** (Near Price, UT). 9600 MW, proposed. Valar Atomics has applied to the Bureau of Land Management to use more than 9,000 acres of federal land near Price, Utah for Project Beehive, which would combine data centers with about 456 small nuclear reactors producing around 9.6 GW, a nuclear fuel production facility and waste storage, according to documents reviewed by NPR. Valar has also sought about 650 acres of state land for the project. BLM's Utah office confirmed it received the application and is reviewing it for completeness before NEPA review. The timeline calls for non-nuclear construction as early as the end of 2026, first reactors in 2028 and full completion by 2032. Valar did not respond to NPR.

The permit values the structure at $185.4 million; PointOne said CyrusOne's equipment brings Phase I to roughly $900 million and customer IT equipment would bring the total to about $3.6 billion. The site is Phase I of a development planned to total 430 acres. ([The Rant (Sanford NC), 29 September 2026](https://rantnc.com/2026/09/29/planning-department-issues-data-center-permit/))
- **Tonopah film studio, retail and data center complex (data center and technology campus)** (Tonopah (unincorporated), AZ). 1000 MW, approved. Arizona Land Consulting plans a 1,350-acre complex in Tonopah that includes a 355-acre film production studio, a golf course, an amusement park and a roughly 300-acre data center and technology campus that CEO Anita Verma-Lallian says will draw about a gigawatt. Maricopa County supervisors approved the zoning earlier in September 2026; final site plans are expected within six months and construction could begin within two years. Power and water plans remain unclear.

- **Edged Prichard data center (Telegraph Road)** (Prichard, AL). $93M, approved. Edged Energy's proposed $93 million data center on Telegraph Road in Prichard received a building permit on 30 July 2026, before the city's six-month moratorium of 4 August. After the council questioned the permit because site plan review had been skipped, the Planning Commission granted site plan approval on 29 September 2026. The developer's attorney said construction should last 18 months and the site is about eight acres.

- **Harmony Energy Park data center (near the Bison Substation)** (Harmony Township, north of Mapleton, ND). 540 MW, proposed. Minnesota-based Geronimo Power has filed for a conditional use permit for a data center at its Harmony Energy Park in Harmony Township, Cass County, near the Bison Substation north of Mapleton. The company says the campus would use 540 MW at peak, nearly twice Applied Digital's 280 MW Polaris Forge II near Harwood, on about 640 acres, with construction taking two to four years, closed-loop cooling and peak water use of 20,000 gallons a day. Township officials are awaiting a legal opinion on whether a former supervisor's undisclosed land sale to Geronimo could nullify earlier zoning changes.

- **Merkle Standard data center, former Ponderay Newsprint papermill** (Usk, WA). 225 MW, proposed. Merkle Standard, owned by Irvine, California-based Allrise Capital, has been in discussions since 2024 with the Pend Oreille County PUD about raising the electricity load at the former Ponderay Newsprint papermill in Usk, a 927-acre property with 29 buildings, for a data center. Records obtained by The Spokesman-Review show talks on a power study for upgrades that could eventually deliver 225 MW, more than seven times the load of the county's residential and small business customers. Nothing has been formally presented to county commissioners or the Kalispel Tribe. The same owner earlier promoted the mill as a cryptocurrency mining site.

- **Lambda data center, MidAmerica Industrial Park (south section)** (Chouteau, OK). announced. Lambda announced plans to build a data center in the south section of MidAmerica Industrial Park in Mayes County, Oklahoma, within the Chouteau-Mazie Public Schools tax boundary. The company expects to pay about $500 million in taxes over 10 years and says the project could create up to 1,000 construction jobs and up to 100 permanent positions. Cloverleaf Infrastructure was selected by GRDA and MidAmerica to ready the site. Lambda said it will use closed-loop cooling and design the facility as a flexible grid customer. The site adjoins GRDA's Energy Center, and MidAmerica CEO Dave Stewart said Lambda is paying full market price for the land and receiving no incentives. No construction start, completion date, cost or capacity was announced. ([Lambda (company announcement), 27 September 2026](https://lambda.ai/blog/new-lambda-data-center-in-oklahoma))
- **Vantage Data Centers Oregon campus (Corduroy and Wynn roads)** (Oregon, OH). $1.1B, proposed. Vantage Data Centers seeks permits for two or three data center buildings plus ancillary buildings on about 213.8 acres near Corduroy and Wynn roads in Oregon, Ohio, according to a draft term summary posted by council member Kathleen Pollauf and presented to council on 28 September 2026. The draft projects about 1,500 construction jobs per building and about 30 Vantage employees after construction.

- **Stratos Project AI data center campus (MIDA project area)** (Hansel Valley, north of the Great Salt Lake, UT). 9000 MW, approved. Kevin O'Leary's O'Leary Digital proposed the Stratos Project, pitched as a 40,000-acre AI data center campus drawing up to 9 GW near the Great Salt Lake in Box Elder County. Utah's Military Installation Development Authority approved the project area in April 2026 and Box Elder County commissioners approved it unanimously in May 2026 by two resolutions; the county's later 180-day moratorium exempted Stratos. Opposition cost Senate President Stuart Adams and two commissioners who backed it their June 2026 primaries, and O'Leary said in August 2026 that his team 'really screwed this up' and pledged to shrink the project. The citizen group BEAR is suing to force a referendum on the county's approval; O'Leary Digital and the county argue MIDA consent is irrevocable.

## Status changes

- **QLevr Carmen Avenue data center (moratorium carve-out)**. restarted, now approved after delay. 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. On Monday 28 September 2026 the City Council approved the major site plan for the data center, which KARE 11 describes as 55,000 square feet, covering architecture, landscaping, light output and parking. The one-year moratorium remains in effect for all other data center projects in the city.
- **Edged Energy Prichard data center (Telegraph Road) building permit dispute**. delayed, now approved after delay. At its 20 August meeting the Prichard City Council moved toward invalidating the building permit for Edged's proposed $93 million data center and refunding $224,000 in fees, with the council attorney saying the permit was issued without required Planning Commission site plan review. An attorney for Edged Energy then sent a letter threatening a lawsuit if the city tries to block the permit, and the council voted unanimously to refer the matter to its attorney. The council attorney said the city has no real way to stop this project but that the Planning Commission review step must be followed, while Mayor Carletta Davis said the project will move forward. On Tuesday 29 September 2026 the Prichard Planning Commission approved the site plan, completing the review step the council attorney said had been skipped before the 30 July 2026 building permit. Edged's attorney said the building permit predates the city's 4 August 2026 six-month moratorium, so the moratorium does not apply; the site is about eight acres, construction is expected to take 18 months and groundbreaking could come at any time.
- **Newark data center moratorium**. moratorium, now other. The Newark Municipal Council adopted Resolution 26-1288, a non-binding resolution of support for a temporary data center moratorium sponsored by North Ward Councilman Anibal Ramos Jr., which the city's Legistar record shows as adopted as of 9 September 2026; the resolution does not itself impose a moratorium, and SAVRN's moratorium tracker had recorded it as an enacted moratorium, which this record corrects. South Ward Councilman Patrick Council's ordinance for a one-year moratorium on applications, permits and certificates of occupancy for data centers over 5,000 sq ft was introduced but returned to the administration so it can first be referred to the Central Planning Board for review; Patch reported on 29 September 2026 that it is still moving through that process.

## Capital at risk, records updated

Same status as before; the record gained a new development or source.

- **Charlotte 150-day data center moratorium** (moratorium). Charlotte City Council passed a 150-day moratorium on new data centers in early June 2026, expiring 5 November 2026. A staff study submitted 1 September found impacts vary by facility type, and on 8 September 2026 the council's Transportation Planning and Development Committee approved a staff request to seek an extension of up to nine months. WFAE reported a full council vote was scheduled for 14 September 2026, but WSOC reported that the full council must approve the committee recommendation, hold a public hearing and then vote. On 16 September 2026 WCNC reported the pause was still scheduled to expire 5 November 2026 and that city leaders had discussed a nine-month extension; no adoption of the extension was reported. On Monday 28 September 2026 the council set a public hearing for 12 October 2026 on extending the moratorium by 11 months, through 11 October 2027; the council will vote after the hearing.
- **Circle T Data Center (Westlake)** (litigation). On 17 August 2026 Judge Kimberly Fitzpatrick of the 342nd District Court issued a temporary restraining order, sought by The Lakes at Marshall Ridge Homeowners Association in Keller and two residents, blocking the Westlake Town Council from approving the Circle T Data Center development agreement. At a 26 August hearing the restraint was extended through 8 September 2026. Plaintiffs allege the site plan lacked required setbacks and that building height was raised from 45 to 80 feet without proper notice. Separately, the Keller City Council approved a motion to begin a 90-day moratorium process within its own limits. On 26 August 2026 Judge Kimberly Fitzpatrick of the 342nd District Court extended the temporary restraining order barring a Westlake vote on the data center development plans until a 10 a.m. hearing on 8 September 2026. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram describes the project as a 1.1 million-square-foot complex on 87.9 acres at 13580 Denton Highway, 506 feet from homes in Keller's Lakes at Marshall Ridge neighborhood, and reports the Keller City Council passed a resolution opposing the project and authorizing legal action. On 15 September 2026 the Westlake Town Council voted unanimously not to renew its police services agreement with Keller, which expires in 2028, amid the dispute. The Dallas Morning News describes Circle T as eight buildings on 88 acres. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported on 16 September 2026 that the judge has extended the temporary restraining order against a Westlake vote twice to allow more time to study evidence, and that the latest hearing is scheduled for 25 September 2026. On Friday 25 September 2026 Judge Kimberly Fitzpatrick dissolved the temporary restraining order that had kept Westlake from voting to approve the data center, after criticizing both sides for filing about 1,000 pages of documents the night before, and set a 23 October 2026 hearing on the Lakes at Marshall Ridge Homeowners Association lawsuit, in which the city of Keller is an intervener. Westlake said it was pleased and would continue to follow Governor Abbott's directives on data center development; Keller's mayor and an intervening resident said the suit continues. The Dallas Morning News reported on 28 September 2026 that the parties met for mediation before the 25 September hearing without reaching a settlement, and a status report said the plaintiffs' claims reached an impasse while Keller, Westlake and Circle T continue a settlement dialogue. At the 23 October 2026 hearing the judge is to decide whether the plaintiffs have standing to continue the suit. Westlake says the site has been zoned commercial and industrial since 1998, making the data center allowable by right.
- **DANKO Holdings Muncy Township data center** (litigation). Two Muncy Township residents filed a land use appeal in Lycoming County Court of Common Pleas against the township supervisors and the developer, challenging the deemed approval of a data center conditional use application and related curative zoning amendment. They argue the township failed to hold a hearing or act within the 60-day period required by state code, and that the developer-drafted amendment amounts to spot zoning. The developer filed its application in late April 2026, hours before supervisors passed a nine-month moratorium on high-intensity data centers, and is contesting the appeal. The appeal was filed 14 August 2026 by neighbors Rae-Ellah and Sean Tetreault. Danko Holdings II, LP and Fishlips, LLC (owned by The Liberty Group) filed a motion to quash on 28 August 2026, arguing the appeal targets the deemed-denied curative amendment rather than the deemed-approved conditional use. The township asked for a remand for a conditional use hearing. Judge William P. Carlucci scheduled argument for 6 November 2026. On Friday 25 September 2026 Green Amendments for the Generations, with residents including neighbors Sean and Rae-Ellah Tetreault, filed a separate appeal in Commonwealth Court arguing that the Municipalities Planning Code provision under which the conditional use application was published as deemed approved, after the township held no hearing within 60 days, is unconstitutional and violates environmental rights and due process. The application covers three data center buildings (two 14-pod and one eight-pod), water storage and treatment and a substation near Yetter Road and John Brady Drive.
- **Panhandle Road data center (Lovejoy)** (withdrawn). The Lovejoy City Council announced at a special called meeting that a proposal for a large data center on Panhandle Road had been withdrawn after resident opposition, and the developer pivoted to a residential plan. Mayor Marci Fluellyn said the city will begin updating zoning to prohibit data centers. Lovejoy is not covered by Clayton County's moratorium on data center applications. At the Thursday 6 August 2026 special called meeting the council voted unanimously to begin rescinding the permit for the proposed 1.2 GW data center, and the mayor said a withdrawal from the Development of Regional Impact review would follow. On Monday 28 September 2026 the city approved an ordinance banning data center construction within city limits. Atlanta News First reported the Stillwater Development plan as 3.5 million sq ft in 15 buildings with 1.25 GW at full build-out, filed in December 2025.
- **Mercer County one-year data center application moratorium** (moratorium). The Mercer County Fiscal Court unanimously passed an ordinance for a one-year moratorium on applications to build new data centers in unincorporated areas. The moratorium would not apply if the city of Burgin annexes land for Panattoni's proposed Project Bluegrass hyperscale data center; Burgin has no planning and zoning rules. The same evening Burgin's council did not take up the annexation proposal while residents voiced opposition. The Fiscal Court first approved a motion for the moratorium on 28 July 2026, with a second reading required before formal adoption. On Monday 28 September 2026 the Fiscal Court unanimously voted down a proposed zoning ordinance that would have created a new district for large-scale data centers and set siting and operating rules. Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill said the ordinance would have allowed a data center within 2,000 feet of the landmark's border. Panattoni continues to pursue a 950-acre data center despite the moratorium.
- **Indiantown data center moratorium vote (Project Growler and Silver Fox 606)** (other). The Indiantown Village Council voted 4-1 against the moratorium language drafted by the former village attorney, opting to seek a new legal opinion and language that could survive a legal challenge, after nearly three hours of public comment. An attorney for Silver Fox 606 LLC, whose 2-million-square-foot proposal was withdrawn, threatened to sue if the village enacted a pause. Council members said the moratorium would come back, while property owner Rory Greenberg said his Project Growler site plan, filed the day after the 18 August election, is vested and should be processed under existing rules. After the newly elected council majority replaced the village manager and village attorney, the council voted unanimously on 10 September 2026 to direct counsel to draft a moratorium ordinance and a transparency ordinance. The interim village attorney plans Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board review on 1 October, first reading on 8 October and second reading and adoption on 22 October 2026.
- **Georgetown data center moratorium** (moratorium). Georgetown, Kentucky, enacted a local data center moratorium or ban, recorded in SAVRN's moratorium tracker as dated July 2026. City council backs moratorium on data centers through end of year; directs Georgetown-Scott County Planning Commission to recommend zoning regulations. The measure runs to 31 December 2026. The Georgetown City Council voted unanimously on Tuesday 29 September 2026 to ask legal counsel to prepare an ordinance banning data centers and defining hyperscale data centers; the ban would also need Planning and Zoning Commission approval. Scott County extended its own moratorium to March 2027.
- **Orchard Hills data center rezoning (Trammell Crow)** (other). The Planning Commission recommended denial of the land-use map and rezoning amendments on 8 September 2026; the council held first reading and a public hearing without a vote on 14 September 2026, and the first annexation vote is set for 28 September 2026. On Monday 21 September 2026 the council's Public Services Committee recommended approval of the annexation and initial agricultural zoning on second reading, voted to amend the zoning map and to overrule the Planning Commission's denial of the future land-use map amendment, and postponed the land-use map item to align with the annexation process. The 162-acre site adjoins Meta's Cheyenne campus. The council did not take final action on 28 September 2026; Cowboy State Daily reported on 29 September 2026 that final votes on the 162-acre Orchard Hills annexation are scheduled for 12 October 2026. At the same 28 September meeting the council approved, 8-2 on third reading, the separate 1,260-acre Cox Ranch annexation and business park rezoning for a Skybox Data Centers and ViaWest Group data center.
- **Texas statewide halt on TCEQ permits for data centers pending ERCOT and TWDB audits** (paused). On 21 September 2026 Gov. Greg Abbott directed the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to halt all permits sought by data centers until ERCOT completes its audit, in a letter to TCEQ Executive Director Kelly Keel. The governor's release says that because the PUCT, ERCOT and the Texas Water Development Board need the audit information to make informed decisions, no state agency shall move forward with regulatory approvals related to data center development until it is acquired. TCEQ must report on its compliance by Monday 19 October 2026. The directive follows the 3 August 2026 order for the PUCT and ERCOT to audit all data centers in ERCOT's interconnection process and the 14 September 2026 water-use reporting directive to the TWDB. Houston Public Media reported that the August pause reached only ERCOT connections of at least 75 MW, while TCEQ permits for river water use or on-site power plants now also stop, and that ERCOT and the TWDB are surveying more than 400 data centers for the audit. The governor also said he will work with the Legislature next session to eliminate financial incentives for data centers. The San Antonio Current reported on 29 September 2026 that Samuel Short, director of TCEQ's Air Permits Division, wrote in an email to Bastrop County residents that, at the direction of Governor Abbott, TCEQ has paused the issuance of all air and water permits and authorizations related to the construction or development of infrastructure directly supporting data centers while ERCOT completes its audit, that the Pacifico Energy campus near Cedar Creek (row 823) is on hold, and that TCEQ will give the Governor's Office a full compliance update by 19 October 2026. Public Citizen's Texas office told the outlet that TCEQ has previously said it lacks authority to halt all permits for an entire industry. At a stop in Hemphill reported on 29 September 2026, Abbott said new data centers must provide their own power and that local communities should have authority to decide whether to allow them; KTRE reported that state permits for two proposed Angelina County projects, AmpZ and Hyper Data Grid, remain on hold.
- **Project Jupiter force majeure notice (Oracle, Doña Ana County)** (other). Bloomberg News reported on 24 September 2026, citing people familiar with the situation, that Oracle sent a notice citing force majeure to the project's developer, which Bloomberg describes as a unit of Blue Owl Capital. The notice is intended to let Oracle put off payments if Project Jupiter is derailed and fails to come online in 2028 as planned, rather than to exit as the main tenant; Bloomberg said it is not certain the notice would release Oracle from its agreed financial obligations. Reuters, which carried the report, could not independently verify it, and Oracle and Blue Owl did not immediately comment. Oracle shares fell about 4 percent in premarket trading after the report, per Reuters. The notice follows the Financial Times report on 18 September 2026 that the roughly $18 billion of construction loans for the campus were quoted at 89 to 91 cents on the dollar, the New Mexico Supreme Court permitting stays (row 131) and the July 2026 denial of the Green Chile gas pipeline route (row 346). The Wall Street Journal reported on 25 September 2026 that Oracle delivered the notice earlier that week to Stack Infrastructure, the Blue Owl-owned developer, to push back the date at which it pays full rent; the lease, on hell-or-high-water terms per people familiar with it, lets Oracle do so for up to three years, with the lease term extended correspondingly. The first phase had been expected in the third quarter of 2028. Oracle said Project Jupiter remains on its planned schedule and that such notices are commonplace; Blue Owl said the notice does not change the financial commitments. The WSJ also reported that Oracle removed one of its land and power partners, identified by the Daily Caller as BorderPlex Digital Assets, and that about 20 banks provided $18 billion of construction financing with Blue Owl funds contributing about $3 billion of equity. A New Mexico Environment Department spokesman told the Daily Caller News Foundation that no replacement hearing officer had been appointed for the air permit and that 23 November 2026 remains the department's decision deadline. ENR reported on 28 September 2026 that Oracle sent the force majeure notice on 24 September; Oracle Vice President Michael Egbert said in a written statement that Project Jupiter remains on its planned schedule and that such notices do not, by themselves, establish a project delay or change delivery expectations. STACK said it, Blue Owl and Oracle remain fully aligned, and Bloom Energy said Oracle remains committed to its 2.4 GW fuel-cell contract. Oracle said more than 3,600 construction workers are on the campus. The 2,462 MW Yucca Growth Infrastructure fuel-cell microgrid still awaits its NMED air permit (decision deadline 23 November 2026) and the supply pipeline's reported in-service target is February 2027.

## 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](/data-center-delay-tracker), which tracks project-level slippage, queues, and securities filings, and the [U.S. Data Center Moratorium Tracker](/data-center-moratorium-tracker), which maps state and local policy measures. All citations behind this atlas are listed on [one page](/data-center-capital-atlas/sources).
