Baltimore committee advances data center moratorium bill

Baltimore City Council committee advanced a bill that would temporarily halt new data center development in the city. The moratorium is intended to limit rising energy costs and other local impacts, creating a modest near-term headwind for data center expansion. The news is mainly policy-driven and is more likely to affect local developers and utilities than broad market pricing.
