A new bill in New Jersey proposes a six-month moratorium on approvals, construction, and subsidies for large AI data centers with electrical demand above 10 megawatts. The bill mandates a commission to study the impacts on the grid, water, health, labor, and taxes before recommending regulations.

You face a sudden halt on new AI data center developments in New Jersey, closing a key market while rules get rewritten. Act fast to explore other states or design for compliance with stricter state-level scrutiny.
