Hochul signs first statewide moratorium on hyperscale data centers
The segment features New York Governor Kathy Hochul on ABC News Live explaining her executive order imposing the nation's first statewide moratorium on hyperscale data centers. She outlines the need for companies to cover power costs, contribute to grid reinvestment funds and deliver community benefits while the state develops standards. The broadcast draws from Hochul's press conference and signing remarks, references the one-year pause on permits for facilities over 50 MW, and notes existing high utility rates for residents and businesses.
