La Pine Industrial Park data center

 Boxminer.io City of La Pine
The La Pine City Council voted unanimously on 27 May 2026 against pursuing a land sale in the La Pine Industrial Park to the developer of a 20-megawatt data center, after hours of resident testimony against it. Opponents cited groundwater, air quality and the capacity of the rural grid.

Former Hynix site data center
denied Decision letter 8 September 2026; appealable to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals
 n.a. (prospective buyer, not publicly named) City of Eugene
The City of Eugene planning department determined in a letter dated 8 September 2026 that the data center described by the prospective buyer of the former Hynix plant is prohibited in the site's E-1 Campus Employment zone, reasoning that data centers are almost self-operating with little human presence at the site. The buyer's attorney had argued the use qualified under information technology services permitted in E-1. A city planner stated the decision can be appealed to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals, which could uphold it, seek more information or overturn it.

Oregon state-owned land pause for data centers
moratorium Announced 8 September 2026; in effect through 1 July 2027
 n.a. (statewide administrative action) State of Oregon
Governor Tina Kotek directed state agencies to immediately pause all unapproved land transactions and permits for new data center projects on state-owned property. The pause covers requests for easements, leases, rentals, land-use permits, and sales or transfers of state-owned property for data centers, and runs through 1 July 2027 or until further direction from the Governor's Office or the legislature. The stated purpose is to allow a statewide evaluation of long-term impacts including infrastructure capacity, environmental sustainability, water usage, job creation and effects on surrounding communities, and to ensure that data center growth does not shift utility and infrastructure costs onto Oregon ratepayers. Reporting notes that Oregon does not currently have authority to impose a statewide moratorium on data center development on private land, and that this action reaches only the state's own property. On the same day, at an anti-data-center rally outside the Capitol in Salem, Kotek said she now supports a statewide moratorium on new data centers and that the legislature should pass a temporary ban when it convenes next year, a shift from her previous position. Republican gubernatorial candidate Christine Drazan also called for a moratorium. No statewide moratorium has been enacted; what is in force is the state-land pause recorded here.

Verrus data center
moratorium Initial vote 3 August 2026; moratorium adopted 21 September 2026, in effect through 19 January 2027
 Verrus Salem
Salem City Council voted unanimously on 3 August 2026 to move toward a temporary moratorium on AI data centers and to begin updating zoning and land use rules. On 21 September 2026 the council voted unanimously to adopt the moratorium, effective immediately through 19 January 2027, with state law allowing extensions of up to 300 days with additional findings. It covers all data centers as a primary use and accessory data centers above 2 MW. The city attorney said the Verrus application filed in late July must be reviewed under the rules in place when filed, but construction can be prohibited while the moratorium is in effect; the city cited water supply risk from the deep drawdown of Detroit Reservoir.

Woodburn 120-day data center moratorium

 n.a. City of Woodburn
Woodburn City Council adopted Resolution 2267 on 14 September 2026 declaring a 120-day moratorium on the acceptance, review and approval of city permits and development proposals for new data centers. Other industrial development is not affected. During the pause the city will review zoning and siting criteria and study water, energy, noise and environmental impacts. The vote count was not published in the sources reviewed.

Policy context

What governs a data center in Oregon

Oregon (statewide summary)state
C.4 floors: 10 MW (Cascade Locks) + Hillsboro DC/BESS pipeline; $100M identified; 3 named; 2-4 tracked actions. Hillsboro adopted the first Oregon city moratorium: 120 days from July 27, 2026, expiring November 24, 2026, extendable 6 months, plus a 180-day SIP pause approved July 21, 2026.
Hillsboro's moratorium covers a pipeline that includes a QTS 250 MW campus, Salem halted new applications for 120 days on August 3, 2026, and Wasco County carries restrictive zoning from June 2025.
Oregon (PUC approval of PGE data center rate increase under the POWER Act)state
POWER Act rate class applies to loads above 20 MW in Portland General Electric territory
The Oregon Public Utility Commission unanimously approved on 7 July 2026 a 29.7% rate increase for data centers, cryptocurrency operations and other large industrial users in PGE territory, the first significant increase under the 2025 POWER Act, effective 8 July 2026. Residential customers received a 1.3% decrease. The Data Center Coalition appealed the PGE allocation to the commission, which rejected the appeal; the Citizens' Utility Board expects the coalition to take the case to the Oregon Court of Appeals (reported 23 September 2026).
Oregon (Pacific Power data center cost-assignment settlement under the POWER Act)state
Pacific Power data center rate class under the 2025 POWER Act; applies to future data centers, and existing data center customers are to be addressed next spring
Last week Pacific Power reached a settlement with Oregon Public Utility Commission staff, the Citizens' Utility Board and advocacy groups that assigns the cost of new generation, storage, wires, market power and a share of shared lines needed for new data centers to the data center operators. The Citizens' Utility Board called it the strongest deal yet from a for-profit utility under the POWER Act. The three-member commission is expected to act on 13 November 2026, and the Data Center Coalition is expected to try to appeal. The coalition's appeal of PGE's July 2026 cost allocation was rejected by the commission, and the Citizens' Utility Board expects it to go to the Oregon Court of Appeals.

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

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.

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.
