Capital at risk

Blocked, delayed or restricted in Connecticut

Every project in Connecticut on the atlas's capital-at-risk record: the action taken, who took it, and the announced capital affected. Restarts and reversals are recorded with the same weight as blocks.

Project	Developer	Jurisdiction	Action	Capital
NE Edge Waterford / East Lyme denied January 9, 2024	NE Edge	Waterford / East Lyme	CT Siting Council denied Dominion Energy's petition to modify Millstone Power Station boundaries for NE Edge's 1.5M sq ft hyperscale data center (300MW, ~15% of reactor output).	$231M
Morris data center moratorium moratorium Enacted May 2026	n.a.	Morris	Morris, Connecticut, enacted a local data center moratorium or ban, recorded in SAVRN's moratorium tracker as dated May 2026. 2-year moratorium covering data centers and battery storage, passed unanimously by the PZC. Driven by farmland and rural character concerns. The measure runs to 20 May 2028.	n.a.
NE Edge data center at Millstone Power Station denied Siting Council petition denied January 2024; host fee agreement reported ended April 2026 (opinion piece by project opponent)	NE Edge (with Dominion Energy)	Connecticut Siting Council / Town of Waterford	NE Edge proposed two data center buildings of roughly 1.5 million square feet at Dominion Energy's Millstone nuclear station in Waterford, drawing 300 megawatts directly from the plant. In January 2024 the Connecticut Siting Council denied Dominion's petition arguing that the data centers and switchyard were unrelated to its generating operations and so not subject to council approval. A CT Mirror opinion piece by a member of the residents' group, published 15 April 2026, states that the host fee agreement between NE Edge-Waterford LLC and the Town of Waterford has ended due to a default and expired by its terms.	n.a.
New Haven 12-month data center moratorium moratorium Approved unanimously by the Board of Alders 22 September 2026; 12 months	n.a.	New Haven Board of Alders	On Tuesday 22 September 2026 the New Haven Board of Alders unanimously approved a one-year moratorium on new data centers, authored by Majority Leader Richard Furlow. City Plan staff will use the period to review zoning, under which data processing centers are otherwise allowed as of right in light and heavy industrial zones and the transit oriented community zone. The city has not received any AI data center proposals.	n.a.
Trumbull two-year data center moratorium moratorium Approved unanimously 11 September 2026; two years, effective immediately	n.a. (town-wide land use action)	Town of Trumbull	The Trumbull Town Council approved a two-year moratorium on new data centers unanimously by voice vote on 11 September 2026, effective immediately. The resolution reaches only newly built data centers and expressly does not apply to work under way at Trumbull Corporate Park on Merritt Boulevard, where 365 Data Centers of Norwalk is carrying out a $200 million modernization of the former Nasdaq facility at 80 Merritt Boulevard under a 15-year tenant commitment. Residents had expected the measure to halt that project, which they regard as an AI-ready pipeline rather than a modernization, and that gap between expectation and effect became the central controversy. The record here is that the moratorium did not stop the capital already committed in the town.	n.a.
West Haven data center moratorium moratorium Enacted January 2026	n.a.	West Haven	West Haven, Connecticut, enacted a local data center moratorium or ban, recorded in SAVRN's moratorium tracker as dated January 2026. City Council unanimously approved a 12-month moratorium on establishment and development of data centers; proposed by Mayor Dorinda Borer; defines data centers as facilities primarily used for storage, processing, and distribution of digital data; exempts incidental server rooms; city to review zoning and licensing rules. The measure runs to 8 June 2027.	n.a.

Policy context

What governs a data center in Connecticut

The policy layer for Connecticut lives in three companion references: the Connecticut Data Center Moratorium Tracker for every state measure and local moratorium on record, the Water Tracker for the water rules that touch a site, and the Grid Operator Watchlist for the large-load rules of the RTO or utility that decides whether it can energize.

Part of the North American Data Center Capital Atlas, refreshed every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Announced commitments overlap one another and overlap reported capital expenditure, so this page shows disclosed floors and never adds them into a single deployment figure. Informational, not investment or legal advice.

The SAVRN reference set

Seven references, one system

Capital, delay, policy, water, grid, permits and scarcity are one system seen from seven sides. Each reference is primary-sourced, refreshed on a schedule, and links into the others, so a project can be followed from the money committed to the docket that stopped it.

Delay Watchlist

Project-level slippage: named projects, jurisdictional actions, utility and federal dockets, SEC disclosures, and the interconnection queue.

Open the watchlist →

Moratorium Tracker

The policy layer: every state measure and local moratorium mapped and cited, with one page per state.

Open the tracker →

Water Tracker

Every federal, state, local and interstate water measure that touches a data center, plus a fifty-state water ledger.

Open the water tracker →

Grid Operator Watchlist

ERCOT, PJM, MISO, CAISO, SPP, NYISO, ISO-NE and FERC: the large-load rules, filings and queue positions that decide whether a site can energize.

Open the watchlist →

Permits and Power Development

Data center and substation permits, large loads in the interconnection queues, and the power plants planned to serve them, refreshed hourly from public records.

Open the permits tracker →

SAVRN Scarcity Tracker

Eleven primary-sourced indicators of AI infrastructure scarcity, one composite index, read against the token index, SAVRN's own cost basis and the frontier ceiling.
