Lima City Council has imposed an 18-month moratorium on new data center projects to evaluate city standards on location, water capacity, and electric demand. Existing projects like the Google data center are exempt from this pause.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Deep Tech: Telecom & Connectivity.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Lima's pause on new data centers forces you to recheck your project's water and power needs against stricter city standards. Get ahead by connecting with local utilities to adapt your site plans before the moratorium ends.
