What governs a data center in Washington, DC
The policy layer for Washington, DC lives in three companion references: the Washington, DC 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.
What we check to be able to say that
A state with no record is not a state we skipped. Each refresh reads the same four source classes for every state, and Washington, DC is added the day one of them names a site here.
Where the capital is going instead
The atlas records 453 named sites across 41 states and 1117 blocked, delayed or restricted projects across 49. The largest disclosed state floors today:
