Capital at risk

Blocked, delayed or restricted in Kentucky

Every project in Kentucky 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
Project Lincoln: OC Data Center moratorium July 2, 2025	Western Hospitality Partners	Oldham County	Western Hospitality Partners proposed 'Project Lincoln: OC Data Center,' a $6B, 600MW facility initially planned for 267 acres at 3557 North Highway 53.	$6.0B
Project Lincoln: Oldham County data center withdrawn Moratorium passed 4-2 on 1 July 2025 (150 days); project withdrawn 3 July 2025	Western Hospitality Partners	Oldham County Fiscal Court	Western Hospitality Partners announced in March 2025 a 600-megawatt hyperscale data center on agricultural land in Oldham County, then in June 2025 dropped that site and applied for a smaller 100-megawatt facility at the site of a drive-in theater. On Tuesday 1 July 2025 the Oldham County Fiscal Court passed a 150-day moratorium on data center applications by 4-2, striking language that would have exempted the pending application. On Thursday 3 July 2025 the company said it was withdrawing the application and that the project, described by WLKY as a $6 billion data center, would not proceed. WLKY reported on 24 August 2026 that the county's moratorium on data centers remained in effect while proposed data center regulations went back to the planning commission.	$6.0B
TenKey LandCo Franklin data center litigation County ordinance December 2025; developer suit filed 20 January 2026; single outlet	TenKey LandCo	Simpson County Fiscal Court / City of Franklin	Franklin's city council and planning commission voted unanimously in 2025 to reject a zoning change sought by the developer, and in December 2025 the Simpson County Fiscal Court passed an ordinance requiring heavy industrial zoning and a conditional use permit for data centers. TenKey LandCo sued the fiscal court in Simpson Circuit Court on 20 January 2026 seeking to strike down the ordinance. The Franklin planning commission also tabled a vote on TenKey's preliminary development plan in January 2026.	$5.0B
Allen County data center moratorium moratorium Enacted June 2026	n.a.	Allen County	Allen County, Kentucky, enacted a local data center moratorium or ban, recorded in SAVRN's moratorium tracker as dated June 2026. 2-year moratorium (Ord. 26-03). Proactive, Judge-Executive observed 'headaches' in nearby Simpson County with hyperscale proposal. The measure runs to 10 June 2028.	n.a.
Bell County (Kentucky) two-year data center construction moratorium (Murray Industries site) moratorium Approved on second reading 2 July 2026; two years; single outlet	Murray Industries	Bell County Fiscal Court	Bell County officials voted on Thursday 2 July 2026 to approve a two-year moratorium on data center construction on second reading, without opposition, with Judge Executive Albey Brock presiding. The vote, moved up from 14 July, halts a Murray Industries project that had already begun clearing land. WYMT said it was unclear whether the moratorium would be challenged in court.	n.a.
Burgin hyperscale campus annexation delayed Prior annexation void; 8 September 2026 meeting lost quorum before the annexation vote; planning and zoning rejoin agreement passed first reading on the mayor's tie-break; no new annexation vote scheduled as of 17 September 2026	Panattoni Data Centers	City of Burgin	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	n.a.
Butler County data center moratorium moratorium Enacted June 2026	n.a.	Butler County	Butler County, Kentucky, enacted a local data center moratorium or ban, recorded in SAVRN's moratorium tracker as dated June 2026. Fiscal court approves one-year moratorium; no DCs currently proposed. The measure runs to 26 June 2027.	n.a.
Cave City data center moratorium lawsuit (2001 Doyle Avenue) litigation Moratorium final reading 20 May 2026; lawsuit filed 8 June 2026; reported 25 July 2026	Kentucky Industrial Alliance, LLC	City of Cave City, Joint City-County Planning Commission and Cave City Council	Kentucky Industrial Alliance filed a lawsuit against Cave City, its city council and the joint planning commission, arguing the city's data center moratorium violated KRS 100 and should be declared invalid. The council rejected a data center zoning amendment and passed the moratorium on 11 May 2026, with final reading approved 4-1 on 20 May 2026, after packed meetings over impacts near Mammoth Cave National Park. The company claims vested rights because it filed a development plan on 11 May 2026 and says the moratorium was rushed and passed in bad faith. The Lexington Herald-Leader reported the developer outlined a 600-acre, 1.2 GW campus and filed a second lawsuit challenging the 2024 ordinance that annexed the property into city limits, seeking to place the land outside the moratorium.	n.a.
EastPark project other Jul 2026	TeraWulf	Greenup & Boyd Counties, KY	Exempt from six-month county moratoriums	n.a.

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.	n.a.
Jefferson County data center moratorium moratorium Aug 13 2026	n.a.	Louisville Metro / Jefferson County	Metro Council voted 24-1 on 13 August 2026 to adopt a six-month moratorium barring city planners from approving new data center proposals, running until the council adopts comprehensive zoning rules. An amendment extended the pause to the rezoning of an existing building for data center use. A one-year version failed. Local proposals cited in the debate were a Dermody Properties data center in a 350,000 sq ft warehouse on Kramers Lane and a hyperscale facility already under construction on Camp Ground Road.	n.a.
Lexington (Fayette County) data center moratorium moratorium Enacted June 2026; expires 31 October 2026; extension to October 2027 advanced 6 October 2026, readings pending	n.a.

Moratorium on permits, development plans, and zone changes, unanimous. Expires Oct 31; Planning Division drafting Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment proposals. The measure runs to 31 October 2026. On Tuesday 6 October 2026, after a nearly four-hour hearing, the Urban County Council voted unanimously to move forward an extension of the moratorium to October 2027 and to send the data center zoning text amendments back to the Planning Commission; the extension still needs a first reading and a final vote later in October 2026. The moratorium has put on hold DartPoints' data center on the Lexmark property.	n.a.

Magistrates and Judge-Executive Jaime Green-Smith said the Lake Barkley area may be unsuitable for a data center. No outlet gave the vote date or an end date, so none is recorded here. The measure has a stated duration whose end date is not recorded.	n.a.
Meade County data center rezoning (Joe Prather Highway) denied Denied 14 October 2025	Not identified in reporting	Meade County	The Meade County Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously in October 2025 against rezoning a roughly 138-acre site on Joe Prather Highway from agricultural to light industrial for an AI data center.

Mercer County one-year data center application moratorium moratorium Passed Tuesday 11 August 2026; one year; data center zoning ordinance rejected 28 September 2026	Panattoni (Project Bluegrass, proposed via Burgin annexation)	Mercer County Fiscal Court	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.	n.a.
Nicholasville six-month data center moratorium moratorium Adopted August 2026	n.a.	Nicholasville	The city commission passed a six-month moratorium on data centers on Aug. 10, 2026, citing utility cost, property tax and water-consumption concerns in the surrounding farming community.	n.a.

Rubix, which has a $55 million agreement to buy the former AK Steel Ashland Works from Cleveland-Cliffs for a 2 GW facility, needs Russell to lift its moratorium before closing. Cleveland-Cliffs moved the closing deadline from 31 August to 25 September and then to 15 October 2026 to give Russell time to adopt zoning rules; city officials said zoning will come first.	n.a.
Scott County data center moratorium moratorium Enacted March 2026; extended 24 September 2026 to March 2027	n.a.

Woodford County permanent data center ban moratorium Ordinance passed unanimously Tuesday 8 September 2026; reported 10 September 2026	n.a. (county-wide land use action)	Woodford County	The Woodford County Fiscal Court passed an ordinance unanimously on Tuesday 8 September 2026, reported 10 September 2026, permanently banning construction of landfills, data centers and large battery storage systems within the county. It is the first Kentucky county to adopt a permanent ban rather than a temporary moratorium. Judge-Executive James Kay said no developer had pitched a specific data center proposal in the county but that developers were looking everywhere, and cited the divisive debate over the proposed hyperscale campus in Burgin, Mercer County, as the reason for choosing a permanent ban. The measure follows a years-long effort to preserve farmland, including Thoroughbred horse farms.	n.a.

Policy context

What governs a data center in Kentucky

Kentucky (Executive order on data centers)state

Applies to prospective data center projects statewide; local approval decisions remain with communities

Governor Andy Beshear issued an executive order on 6 August 2026 requiring developers to show before approval that projects will not raise utility rates, barring utilities from raising rates to recover data center costs, and directing the Energy and Environment Cabinet to deny permits that would harm air or water. On 27 August 2026 he said he would support repealing the state's data center sales and use tax incentives, which the legislature extended to all 120 counties in 2025.

The policy layer for Kentucky lives in three companion references: the Kentucky 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.
