Atlanta leads the U.S. in data center capacity under construction due to tax incentives and a strong workforce, but power supply constraints and local political opposition are prompting moratoriums and debates at state and local levels.

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

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new political risk as lead markets like Atlanta reel under power limits and moratorium talks. This turns tax-friendly construction zones into contested battlegrounds so you need to line up power solutions or pivot locations now.
