#SanfordME City Council extends #DatacenterMoratorium 180 days amid resident concerns
by WGME Staff
Tue, August 4, 2026SANFORD (WGME) -- "Sanford city councilors have voted to extend the city's moratorium on new #datacenters for another 180 days.
"The previous moratorium was approved in May and was set to expire.
"The extension comes as a developer proposes building a 1,000-acre data center along the #MousamRiver.
"City leaders and residents have raised concerns about potential impacts on #WaterQuality, #LandUse, #ElectricityDemand and other #Environmental issues.
" 'We have the chance to protect the #community, #wildlife and the legacy of the Mousam River, not diminish its value by allowing harmful projects of this scale to be built along the river,' said Eve Dumont-Wilson, who opposes the project."

The rapid growth of #datacentres, driven by #AI, is significantly increasing #electricitydemand in the #PJM Interconnection region. This surge in demand is straining the grid and causing #capacityprices to soar, with the #costs being #socialised across all ratepayers, including #households and #smallbusinesses. While utilities claim ratepayers won’t bear the brunt of these costs, evidence suggests otherwise, with potential rate hikes of up to 60% looming. https://fortune.com/2026/07/24/why-youre-paying-for-data-center-electricity-power/?eicker.news #tech #news

As Kerala’s power grid faces unprecedented strain with demand hitting an all-time high of 6,013 MW, KSEB is looking to secure emergency electricity at higher market rates. With the heatwave expected to last until mid-May, the board has requested permission to buy power at ₹10 per unit to avoid shortages. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/kseb-seeks-nod-for-10-per-unit-power-purchase-as-kerala-demand-hits-record-high-os6veay1?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #KeralaPower #KSEB #EnergyCrisis #KeralaSummer #ElectricityDemand

UN Agency reports that carbon emissions for major tech companies ballooned in the 3 years 2020-2023:
Amazon grew 182%
Microsoft 155%
Meta 145%
Alphabet 138%AI/LLMs were major contributors to the increases.
Digital companies used 581 TWh electricity in 2024, about 2.1% of global demand.
Sustainable? Helping, or hurting the #ClimateCrisis ?

Following up on an earlier post about how energy-intensive generative AI/LLMs are, here's news about how Google is supporting the development of three nuclear power plants (locations TBD), which should produce 1.8 gigawatts of energy.
Note that estimates say 50+ gigawatts of additional power generation will be needed by 2027 to support AI initiatives... :-(

"Electricity demand from global data centers could more than double by 2030 to around 945 terawatt-hours (TWh). That’s more than the entire electricity consumption of Japan"
'nuff said!
