Episode Details

New Orleans is rolling out a smart, tiered plan to manage data center growth—banning massive “hyperscale” facilities over 100,000 sq ft and 20 megawatts, while still allowing smaller and medium-sized centers under strict oversight. The move responds to concerns over energy and water strain, sparked by a controversial proposed project in New Orleans East. Smaller centers get a green light with conditions, while all must clear approvals from key utility agencies—ensuring tech progress doesn’t overload the city’s vital infrastructure.
