San Francisco mayor Daniel Lurie signed a 45-day moratorium on approvals for new and expanded data centers following a unanimous city board vote. The pause excludes minor upgrades and does not affect existing centers, while the city plans to update its data center regulations.

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

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a temporary barrier to expanding data centre capacity in San Francisco that resets the regulatory timeline. Act quickly to assess ongoing deals or consider shifting capacity plans to avoid a potential longer moratorium after November’s elections.
