The Provo City Council voted unanimously on Tuesday 10 March 2026 to deny the developer's request to apply the city's data center overlay zone to the property, the first application under that overlay. The planning commission had recommended approval on 11 February 2026. Council members cited noise, environmental and energy cost concerns and said they want results from an economic development study first.

Box Elder County data center moratorium (Stratos exempt)

 n.a. (county-wide land use action) Box Elder County
Box Elder County commissioners approved a 180-day halt on new data center development on 10 June 2026 to study guidelines and address concerns raised by the Stratos controversy. The county stated the ordinance does not permanently prohibit data centers but establishes a temporary planning period for research, analysis, public participation and policy development. The Stratos project, described as a data center with up to 9 gigawatts of power generating capacity and already approved, is exempt from the moratorium. The Military Installation Development Authority approved the Stratos project area in April 2026 and the project area was later reduced. The record here is that the county's pause did not reach the capacity already entitled.

Cache County temporary data center moratorium

 n.a. Cache County Council
The Cache County Council unanimously approved Ordinance 2026-32 at its 23 June 2026 meeting, establishing a temporary moratorium on proposed data centers in unincorporated areas. The ordinance cites a compelling public interest in protecting grid capacity, water resources and zoning integrity. Council Chair Sandi Goodlander said no utility-scale data center developer had approached the county. The vote followed controversy over a data center campus in neighboring Box Elder County.

Clearfield 180-day data center moratorium
moratorium Approved 4-0 on 8 September 2026; 180 days
 n.a. (city-wide land use action) City of Clearfield
The Clearfield City Council voted 4-0 on 8 September 2026 to freeze all data center development in the city for 180 days, although no such project had been proposed there. City staff proposed the moratorium to study land use and infrastructure questions before a developer applies; the city's code does not currently define a data center. Mayor Mark Shepherd pointed to the grandiose scale of the Stratos campus taking shape in Box Elder County during the discussion. Logan adopted a 180-day moratorium on data center and power plant development on 30 June 2026 and Iron County commissioners passed one on 26 May 2026.

The city will not accept, process, approve or issue any application or permit authorizing their construction during the pause. Council Chair Mike Johnson said the delay gives staff time to write regulations, and the city scheduled a 28 July open house for resident input.

Mona area data center approval process challenge
under appeal Conditional use permit approved at a 15 April 2026 hearing; resident challenge reported 8 September 2026; appeal filed with Juab County Commission 15 September 2026
 Not identified in reporting Juab County
Residents of the Mona area are challenging how a proposed data center of roughly 3 million square feet, described in reporting as a $10 billion project and the largest in Juab County's history, was approved with little public input. County commissioners did not approve the project themselves: planning officials cleared it through a zone change and a conditional use permit, and the public hearing on 15 April 2026 lasted about four minutes with only the county, the selling landowners and the developers present. Residents say they learned of the project only recently and are asking how the zone change was presented to the public and how the conditional use permit was approved, and are demanding a public hearing before any further decision rather than after it is final. No approval has been rescinded and no litigation is recorded here; this is a live challenge to the process. The capital figure is left blank because the $10 billion is a press characterization, not a disclosed commitment. On Tuesday 15 September 2026 the community group Mona Cares filed an appeal asking the Juab County Commission to overturn the conditional use permit, arguing the county did not give residents adequate and actual notice. Commission Chair Clint Painter said the county followed state notice requirements and warned that reversing the approval could expose the county to costly developer lawsuits. Appeals are normally due within 30 days; the group argues the August posting of the meeting minutes supports accepting it. Whether the commission will accept the appeal had not been decided.

Policy context

What governs a data center in Utah

Utah (SB 132 large-load service law)state
Large loads of 100 MW or more within five years in Rocky Mountain Power's territory; signed at the end of March 2025, effective the following month per Latitude Media. Creates supply pathways, not a moratorium
Utah's SB 132, sponsored by Sen. Scott Sandall and signed by Gov. Spencer Cox at the end of March 2025, modifies Rocky Mountain Power's duty to serve large loads. The utility has 90 days to evaluate a large-load request and decide whether it can serve it without significant investment; if it cannot, or no agreement is reached, the customer may contract with one or more large-scale generation providers using the utility's transmission (registering with the Public Service Commission and using generation that meets NERC and WECC standards and can serve the whole load), or build a closed private generation system entirely behind the meter. The stated aim is to keep existing ratepayers from bearing the cost of large new loads. An early requirement that wind and solar be fully backed by storage was dropped, but backup supply arrangements must be specified.

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