Maine is set to implement the nation's first statewide ban on data center construction, potentially setting a precedent for other states and putting the brakes on the rapidly expanding data center industry. This week, Maine legislators passed bill text prohibiting the construction of data centers in the state until November 2027, with final legislative procedures expected to be completed in the coming days. Additionally, the bill will establish a dedicated committee to develop regulatory rules for data centers, preventing energy price hikes or other issues for residents.
