Capital at risk

## Blocked, delayed or restricted in Tennessee

Every project in Tennessee 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 | Sources |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Project River ($11.3 billion campus)paused Pause requested 18 September 2026; city suspended meetings and cancelled 21 September Planning Commission meeting | Wright family (land owned by Wright Brothers Construction; Wright Industrial Group per its president, Lukas Salyer) | City of Cleveland | On 18 September 2026 the developers asked the City of Cleveland to temporarily delay further action on Project River while they bring in third-party technical experts, after community backlash and while the city's PUD rules were pending. The family had accepted guardrails earlier that week. The same day the city said it was suspending all direct meetings on the project pending the independent engineering review and cancelled the special Planning Commission meeting set for Monday 21 September 2026. Also on 18 September the Southern Environmental Law Center sent a nine-page letter to the mayor, City Council and Planning Commission arguing the roughly 850-acre parcel does not meet the requirements of T.C.A. 6-58-118 for annexation, including contiguity and consent of an easement holder, and objecting to the 500 MW biomass and 1,000 MW natural gas plants. The land is outside Charleston's city limits, so Charleston's separate 12-month moratorium, adopted in response to this proposal, does not apply to it directly. | $11.3B |  |
| Bitcoin Mining Data Centerdenied April 1, 2022 | Red Dog Technologies | Franklin County | Franklin County Commission denied rezoning for Red Dog Technologies' proposed Bitcoin mining data center near Tullahoma. | $70M |  |

The measure responds to a possible data center and power station on property west of Charleston that is being presented to the City of Cleveland for annexation. The proposal it responds to is Project River, recorded separately; it sits outside Charleston's city limits. | n.a. |  |

On 5 August 2026 Metro Council authorized the city to negotiate for or potentially acquire the property through eminent domain. DC Blox filed a federal lawsuit on 11 August 2026 alleging the moratorium is a targeted attack that violates due process, equal protection and takings protections, and seeks to block enforcement plus damages. U.S. District Judge Eli Richardson dismissed DC BLOX's federal lawsuit against Metro Nashville over the data center permit moratorium (in effect until 1 December 2026), and with it the request for an injunction, in a ruling reported 7 October 2026. The court gave DC BLOX 21 days to amend three claims, saying the company had not clearly pleaded protected property interests. DC BLOX paid $23 million for the zoo-area property in late July 2026, and Metro has advanced eminent domain legislation for the site. | n.a. |  |

The county's ban is the subject of a federal lawsuit filed by the Beacon Center of Tennessee on behalf of ExoticRidge Crypto Company LLC, which claims the ban is unconstitutional, arbitrary and enacted in violation of state law. A ruling for the company would invalidate the new resolution. ExoticRidge Crypto Company filed a supplemental complaint on 11 September 2026 alleging the county's 2023 'constitutional sanctuary' resolution conflicts with the bans, that it should be grandfathered under state law, and that the county violated the County Zoning Act and Open Meetings Act.

## What governs a data center in Tennessee

The policy layer for Tennessee lives in three companion references: the [Tennessee Data Center Moratorium Tracker](https://savrn.com/data-center-moratorium-tracker/tennessee) for every state measure and local moratorium on record, the [Water Tracker](https://savrn.com/data-center-water-tracker) for the water rules that touch a site, and the [Grid Operator Watchlist](https://savrn.com/data-center-grid-operator-watchlist) for the large-load rules of the RTO or utility that decides whether it can energize.

Figures beside each state are named sites and blocked, delayed or restricted projects.

Part of the [North American Data Center Capital Atlas](https://savrn.com/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 →](https://savrn.com/data-center-delay-tracker)

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.
