Otoe County menunda izin pusat data hingga satu tahun

Pejabat Otoe County memberikan suara bulan lalu untuk menangguhkan izin bagi pusat data baru selama maksimal satu tahun. Langkah ini diambil menyusul kekhawatiran warga mengenai penggunaan air, biaya listrik, dan potensi dampak panas dari fasilitas tersebut.

Wynee Benedict menyampaikan pertanyaan kepada Dewan Otoe County mengenai kecukupan pasokan air, siapa yang akan menanggung biaya listrik, dan risiko terciptanya pulau panas. Dewan bertindak untuk memberikan waktu guna mempelajari bagaimana proyek-proyek semacam itu selaras dengan rencana daerah dan memperbarui peraturan. Sebuah pusat data Google yang diusulkan dapat membutuhkan lebih dari tiga kali lipat puncak penggunaan listrik di Lincoln, menurut dokumen dari pertemuan utilitas bulan Januari. Tenaska, calon mitra, telah mengambil opsi lahan di Otoe dan wilayah Gage di dekatnya. Anggota parlemen negara bagian menyetujui rancangan undang-undang transparansi tahun ini yang mengharuskan laporan tahunan mengenai kepemilikan, ukuran, lokasi, permintaan listrik, dan penggunaan air pusat data. Madison County telah menambahkan aturan izin khusus, sementara Gage County merencanakan dengar pendapat mengenai moratorium akhir bulan ini. Warga Jim Nemec mengatakan jeda tersebut dapat memberikan sinyal yang salah mengenai keterbukaan terhadap bisnis, meskipun ia memahami perlunya pengkajian. Benedict mencatat bahwa pemerintah daerah ingin aturan sudah diberlakukan sebelum ada fasilitas apa pun yang hadir.
