Ohio has about 143 planned or proposed data centers, with 22 affected by current moratoriums, one by a proposed moratorium, and one by a proposed ban. Many moratoriums are temporary and expiring soon, while community opposition is growing, potentially impacting future data center development and energy consumption in the state.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cloud Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face growing local opposition that puts nearly a sixth of Ohio’s data centers under temporary holds or bans. Swiftly plan around expiring moratoriums and court challenges to secure your projects’ timelines.
