In the process of establishing regulations aimed at environmental protection and grid stability, New York State is set to prohibit the construction of large-scale data centers for up to one year.

This is because such facilities consume enormous amounts of electricity required for the operation of artificial intelligence (AI).

Governor Kathy Hochul signed an executive order on Tuesday, enacting the nation's first state-level moratorium on hyperscale data centers, which house thousands of computer servers and require vast amounts of energy and a reliable water supply for cooling.

This measure has plunged New York State into a fierce debate over the regulation of the AI industry.

This is because concerns over rising electricity costs and environmental risks are clashing with the desire to revitalise the local economy and foster the US technology sector.

Governor Hochul stated at a commemorative signing ceremony in Brooklyn, "The crux is that progress must not come at the cost of higher utility rates, depleted water supplies, and noise pollution.

President Donald Trump warned states not to impose regulations on the AI industry, echoing tech companies' claims that such measures would hinder job creation and cede leadership in this rapidly growing sector to China.

Earlier this year, Maine appeared poised to introduce a similar moratorium, but Democratic Governor Janet Mills blocked it.

This was because it could have prevented the construction of a proposed data center in a town that has been experiencing economic hardship since the closure of its mill.

Moratoriums have been proposed in at least 12 states but have seen little progress, with only some counties and local governments implementing their own temporary bans.

According to the governor's office, New York State's executive order suspends state-level permits for large new data centers and directs state regulatory agencies to establish criteria addressing environmental impact, energy demand, water usage, and other factors.

Dan Diorio of the Data Center Coalition, a trade association, stated, "The moratorium will cause these investments, jobs, and economic activities to flow elsewhere, not to New York, and will have far-reaching effects beyond the data center industry."

New York's decision also carries political significance for Governor Hochul's re-election campaign and the fiercely contested House elections in the state this autumn.

This is because the Democratic Party seeks to address the economic burden caused by high public utility rates.

Furthermore, the governor has this year moderated New York's ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets, citing rising consumer energy costs.

In the gubernatorial election, Hocul's Republican opponent, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, opposes a state-level moratorium and argues that local governments should be permitted to negotiate agreements with technology companies for data center projects that guarantee sufficient economic benefits.

In a statement on Tuesday, Blakeman criticized the governor for "not working with local government and business leaders to find ways to resolve the issue," while declaring that he would "modernize the economy to reduce costs and create quality jobs."

The state legislature passed its own moratorium bill this year, but Governor Hochul's office stated that the bill is complex and requires further review.

Consequently, the governor opted for an executive order that takes immediate effect.
